I would like to thank the guy who told me to use lightroom lol. That program has brought wonders and my pictures now look that much better than they do raw.

It was nice out so I took some pictures of plants infront of my house. C&C is always welcomed.

when you're adjusting exposure and blacks, press ALT while toggling the bars. For exposure, anything that is over exposed will show up as pure white while pressing ALT. For blacks, You're trying to find "true" blacks so toggle the bar until whatever you think should be black shows up as black while pressing ALT.

That is how to tell if something is properly exposed. Hope that helps!

I usually play around with levels, curves, exposure and saturation in Photoshop and see how it turns out. Everyone will have a different opinion on what looks good (or should look better) to them.

that doesn't work when i press ALT. I'm using lightroom 2 if that changes anything. I'm still new so it's all just a work in progress still.

Here are a few of my first shot's from my first DSLR. Good old XSi, so far i'm having a blast. I guess time will improve the shots, darks shot's are tough with the built in flash. Yes, I like animals

Do you put the cones on the kittehs just for the pictures? Because if you do, it makes them extra adorable, and kudos you.
