RAW vs JPEG

Here is my take on the pros and cons of shooting RAW versus shooting JPEG.

And also, whether to convert your RAW to DNG when you're done.

New game for Lucy

Ludoku! Try and fill in the entire grid. Each row, column and cell cluster must have all the letters in Lucy's name!

Lazy Day

just hanging out today. fairly high pollen count, so I've retreated indoors for the time being. I'm working on a "macquarium" using an old Mac Color Classic. Looking ok so far -- the biggest challenge is that the water level can't go all the way to the top of the screen, due to the way the case is built. i can either live with that, or cut the entire top off. haven't decided yet. pictures coming someday... so far only two minor injuries, lol.
