Look at him looking at me...!  This guy was huge!  About 4.5 inches long.  I wish I had a telephoto lens
so that I can get a closer shot of him.  I think I got pretty close though.

I just found out Choi Jin-Shil was found dead at her home.  May all he fan's heart go out to her family and friends.
Her two kids are so young and now they don't have a mother to watch over them.  So sad.  Rest in peace :(

jobophotography suggested something very interesting.  To shoot RAW instead of JPEG.  So all day today I have been experimenting with Lightroom presets and I realized that I was missing out!

According to PopPhoto.com:

FILE FORMAT ADVANTAGES

Reasons to shoot JPEG:

Cameras usually work faster in JPEG mode; more files fit on a memory card; easier to e-mail and transmit wirelessly; quality more than sufficient for family snapshots, newspaper reproduction, even magazine photography; preprocessed image saves post-production time; universal format makes sharing a cinch.

Reasons to shoot RAW:

Lossless file format doesn't sacrifice image data; nondestructive image processing protects original file; total flexibility in editing image characteristics on the computer; significantly more brightness levels to work with, for smoother, more full-toned images.

this photo was shot JPEG, first edited in lightroom then photoshop.

One thing I really dislike about myself is that I procrastinate.
One thing I really like about myself is that I am passionate.
