New topic

SOOC
(Straight out of Camera)

No editing allowed this fortnight! No cropping, no photoshop - we want to see your photos as they were shot.
For those who shoot RAW, you will have to switch to jpeg for this challenge. (When shooting jpeg you can change white balance, contrast, saturation and sharpening all in your camera settings.)
Take time with your composition & exposure - you will be able to get great shots. I think this is a good time to shoot with your camera on MANUAL! It is easier to get a correct exposure (rather than letting the camera choose ;)) so play around & see the results you can get. Good quality light is also very important too. Have fun & no cheating :D

Quick question - are we going to allow resizing for this topic? Not cropping but just resizing a file to decrease the file size for upload? I usually reduce most of the photos I load onto the blog down to about 800 or 1000 pixels in width before uploading them. I can leave them in their original size if that's preferred, or is resizing OK?

resizing is totally fine :)
