Jenolan Caves weekend meet 2nd & 3rd April (Updated)

[antongorlin]

need advice from expirienced cavemen
will I need telelens? will I need a flash?

[peterb666]

A standard zoom would probably be fine.

Generally not flash - the caves we are going into are lit to bring out the colours in the formations. A flash wouldn't hurt just in case, e.g. for fill work but you probably won't need to use it.

I`m bringing some candles....

[peterb666]

You won't need them. I have been told the sun shines out of my something or other.

Great catching up with you, cheers to all.

that worked, thanks Mark

now, where do I put caves photos? landscapes forum?

[peterb666]

I must have copied the link wrong when I posted it. Thanks Mark.

Landscape forum sounds good. I look forward to seeing them.

I am still working on mine and about to hit the sack as I am doing an inland pre-dawn shot if the weather is OK.

Cheers

Peter

what a mottley crew Paul...... Actually had a ball with you guys and gals. Julie enjoyed it all as well and it`s a lot of fun making new friends. So thanks to everyone for making it a friendly, happy and productive occassion. All I have to do now is to get CS5 so I can work on my pics. Nobody told me that with CS2 you can`t process raw data....... Cheers. and Paul, it`s Graeme here....

[antongorlin]

[peterb666]

I have had a fun few days and from Jenolan Caves went onto Parkes and did a pre-dawn shoot at the "The Dish" and am now in Tumbarumba before heading down to the coast to indulge in a week of splishy splashy.

Anyway, I have just finished processing our cave tour photos and have uploaded them here...

Old Dog (Graeme),

You can go to the Adobe site and download a free RAW to DNG converter for processing your RAW files.

You convert the files from RAW to DNG and then open the files with Photoshop to process them. I do this with my D7000 RAW files.

great ...thanks Darey. Will be on it right now.........hmmmmm.......learning, learning.....
