Notes: NOTHING LIKE IT ON PLANET EARTH. What an incredible experience! ALL data were RAW / CR2 plus JPG at same time. Also, you will see some of these images are the JPG files straight from the camera (because they were just that good even for only 8-bit from every day camera proc without futher tweaking!)...and others were RAW CR2 files that I converted to TIF and then processed. In proc of the RAW, only LEVELS...no super-saturation+curves that I see around - I prefer to keep it as real as possible to what I/we experienced on that INCREDIBLE day. |
