autumn brilliance

Posted by jamesy (christchurch, New Zealand) on 11 April 2009 in Documentary & Street.

this is looking sown our street towards the port hills. It was a very cold day but the sun had peeped out from the colouds amplifying the colour of the trees.
this is my first time trying shooting RAW images and fiddling with them let me know what you think and thanks to Rob (Dobbino) for all his help and support

I really enjoy taking photos and would appreciate your feedback so that I can learn as I go. I particularly enjoy photographing birds animals and landscapes

See. You still shoot the same. And shots still turn out. They just have many more hues than jpegs.

Beautiful colors in the leaves. Glad to see you are trying RAW. I am not sure what you adjusted in settings I usually adjust the white balance to sunlight/cloudy for shots like this (which you may have already done!).

Autumn Brilliance indeed. I don't know what RAW even means in this context but its a lovely shot anyway! (I've only just found out what DOF means!)

Brilliant colours indeed! I am wondering a little, because we are saying here, that no beautiful autumn colours without night frosts! But how about you ??

Autumn colors are always nice : your shot is a nice proof of that.

Really nice colors! Can you please do me a favor and walk down the street and do some detail shots of the red tree on the left, just kidding, well sort of... :-)

Welcome to the world of RAW, once you get used to it, the advantages are well worth it.

Sure got some rich colors forming there . . and I like the atmosphere of the shot with that threatening cloud forming.
