Few more pics from this morning
Posted by: Don on May 14th, 2009Hello Friends,
For the last week or two I’ve been shooting many of the daily pics with a Sony a900 digital SLR. It’s one of the highest res digital SLRs you can get and the results have been pretty spectacular. I’ve only got a 70-200 zoom, so all the pictures are heavily cropped. Then they get a belting when I save them as medium res jpegs, and still they look good. (Any photogs interested in the nuts and bolts should check out my mag co-editor Margaret Brown’s in depth review of the 24 megapixel heavyweight.)

Great pics. Are u shooting them on RAW???
No, I’m using the superfine jpeg setting. The RAW files would of course be even better, but they’re really big and my computer takes too long to process each one. Photoshop RAW importer hasn’t been updated to handle the Sony format, so I have to use Sony’s RAW export app and it isn’t as refined as Photoshop’s (or isn’t as easy to use for me anyway). If I owned this camera, I’d put in the time to set up a RAW workflow as it is always best to shoot in RAW.
