Thank you so much, Ben! These are my first shots in RAW…finally took the plunge and Per, who encouraged me to do it, was right, I will never go back.

This has a beautiful golden glow to the shot which makes it that little more special Sande!

The color is so well balanced. The horse seems to a part of the atmosphere. The gradient of the air is magical. Everything here appears so soft in it, like a part of air.

Sande Elkins in reply to SylviaHardy’s comment, 5 months ago

Thank you Sylvia! Yes, I should have left the golden light in the other shot but I think, because of the steam coming out of her nose, I wanted to enhance the cold feeling. Which is probably why I find it less appealing than this one lol

Thank you Yasue! Per convinced me to try shooting in RAW which I’ve never done. I love it. These three today are the first shots.

This is good, Sande – actually all of them. I can see that the light here was very difficult, but you have captured it very well with the backlight in Mouse’s tail and “hair” (what is the name?). I saw the comment about the blue light on the other one, and I also think I prefer the more golden touch here. A couple of more RAW shoots, and you are converted, meaning no way back! Good luck tomorrow.
