Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Re: CAFÉ, PUB AND STREET SHOTS (none / 1)
The original had lots of distracting colour that just got worse when I tried to up the exposure.  Especially the blue on the baby that looked as if it was some sort of bizarre UV light or something against the big scary yellow patch. That's always a sign it's worth trying in black and white.

If you shot the picture RAW you should be able to get some more detail out of that slightly annoying highlight on the baby's head and still bring up the father's face a little more with a little post-processing. Or send me the RAW and I'll give it a shot - I'm playing with the Aperture 2 trial version which is rather a nice toy.

Lovely yellow pub walls.  Alas I did not take the photos in RAW since it was just a pub birthday thing. I must learn my lesson.  Can still send you the original if you reckon you can do anything with it?

Sure, send it over - I'm messing with this thing anyway.

Always shoot raw if you can! Sure, it means that you have to miss meals so you can buy big memory cards, but who needs to eat?

Thing is though, on nearly every occasion I've been out with the camera over the last few months, I have shot RAW, except for this!

I found some good deals on memory cards online. The price has come down a fair bit over the last 18 months.
