A portrait it ain't. It's so kind of you to use the word though, even in a somewhat negative sense <LOL> If you recall, I put the lens on the camera, put the camera to my eye, and snapped. I'm not even sure I focused, certainly had no idea what meter mode I was in. This may not even qualify as a snap shot <LOL>
It's really the RAW conversion that's got me stymied. I played with all the settings but couldn't get the look and feel I wanted, although I was so anxious to see the pics I began working before adjusting the room brightness. Anyway, no excuses ... just looking for ways to improve my understanding of RAW files and how to work with them. You're using a different converter than I - which one is that again?
