I like the detail I am getting in the 2012 one in shadows like in the curtains and hands.  I did warm the image up a bit in this latest one too. Friends don’t let friends shoot jpegs.</p>http://blog.neonmargarita.com/post/22423144864http://blog.neonmargarita.com/post/22423144864Fri, 04 May 2012 19:59:34 -0700<p>I was revisiting some Jazz Fest photos from 2008 that I shot raw on my Nikon. After the fest I processed them in Aperture and did what I thought was a good job. This morning I opened in Lightroom and had the raw files and the processed jpegs but I decided to restart with the raw files. Found that the new color science in Lightroom gave me a lot more control over getting better images and I have learned a lot since 2008 about processing. Night and day improvement (I&#8217;ll try to post an example later). So&#8230; If you are deciding between jpegs and locking in those decisions or shooting raw, keep this in mind: technology will change and you will get better so keep that digital negative raw.</p>http://blog.neonmargarita.com/post/22384098686http://blog.neonmargarita.com/post/22384098686Fri, 04 May 2012 08:11:00 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3hywturbF1qz4x0fo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Friday from the Photo Archives - Buckwheat Zydeco from Jazz Fest 2008.
