I returned last Wednesday, visiting Death Valley with online photographer friends. It was great!!! Death Valley is photographers dream, great people also a learning experience...what a great trip.
Most the photographers at the meet are professional also joining us was Don Mason, co-author of Color Management for Digital Photographers for Dummies. I bought Don's book, his book is excellent and a heck of nice man. Don's book is very helpful, easy to follow (I am a novice).
One of my photographers suggestions, I start shooting in the RAW format. I was nervous shooting in the RAW format, having no clue how to retrieve my images and work with the format. After a few tears, help, I was able to figure it out :). I love the format!!!!
My first images were taken at Tecopa's old talc mine.

How cool! You are very lucky.
I love the boot shot.

I never used RAW and am afraid to try. I know it takes up alot more room on the memory cards. Where do I start? Can I open it up on Photoshop?
Your Photo presentation on Death Valley is wonderful. I love how you show alittle bit of everything, including the boots!

Looks like a great trip. At least there wasn't any snow. I will be interested to see how you get along with RAW. What advantages have you seen so far?
That first photo is my favorite of this collection. Hugs,

Betty, I had forgotten that you were going to that photo shoot and have been wondering where you were lately!! Glad you refreshed my poor memory.
JUST CAN'T WAIT TO SEE ALL OF YOUR PICTURES! HURRY! -Mame-
Great pics, Betty, thanks for sharing
Ahhhh, I'm envious, I wish I could have gone too. Very cool rustic pictures you came back with. I tried shooting RAW for a few shots, but I'm much...MUCH happier with TIFF. Too much digital wiggling around for me.
