Thanks, David! Glad you liked the barn shots. It's a distinctive
old hulk, to be sure.
I actually considered using the RAW + JPG setting, but I only had a 2
Gig card in the camera at the time, and figured most of the shots were
just going to be throw-aways. So, I figured I'd just take as many as I
could, since I wasn't too concerned with composition. I was essentially
just trying to capture my drunkard acquaintances looking goofy.
Many thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the tip, Bruce. It is much appreciated.
I'd forgotten that I had changed my settings over to JPEG while I was taking
snapshots during the Super Bowl gathering I went to last night.
I tend to get around that by shooting in Raw and Jpg mode. I use the
Jpg's to upload via jalbum and then adjust the Raws for the photos i
want.

BTW nice Geso, i enjoyed the old barn shots.

Nice ones, Walt. I especially like barn-front (5426125455) and that
curious dog (5426727734).
Tech issue: in the doggy shot I'm seeing artifacts of the sort caused by
curves adjustments on 8-bit images; stuff like stair-step transitions in
all-white scenes where the pixels are up in the 240-254 range. Look at the
snow behind the dog toward the top of the image.
And I wonder if your exposure was maybe a bit too hot in the barn shot.
Did you take a look at the histogram in PS when you were editing that one?
It's got a look I see in my own images when the whites have clipped (too
close to 255) and then vignetting is applied. You tend to get a kind of
dirty grey look in those areas.
Shooting stuff in snow is really tricky -- quite the balancing act. This
is one area where shooting raw *really* pays off, with more dynamic range
and headroom.
