We’ve had an exceptionally mild winter this year. Very little rain, even less snow, and since the new year, very warm temperatures. This tree usually blooms in late March, or early April. Here it is February 28th and it has burst out with color.
This is a shot from the G1, captured in camera raw format, with mild edits made in Aperture, then saved to JPEG using Photoshop’s “save for web” feature.
impressive looking camera Chuck…. bugger about the price of the lens you want!

I’m curious to know what the photo would look like if it went directly to JPEG (by-passing the RAW) stage. I’m trying to figure out how much information is lost in the straight-to-JPEG process. Several people have told me I should be using RAW but I don’t think it’s worth it for a point-and-shoot. But I’m planning on getting a DSLR sometime soon and might start fiddling then. Something to talk about over our next beer…
MD, my brother is an Apple-certified Apeture and Photoshop instructor, and very good at this stuff…unlike moi, who *barely* groks any of it!
He asserts that all serious work ought to be done in RAW since, you may have a really good shot in a JPEG but everytime you dick with it, you lose quality (that’s how I understand it, at least.)
I myself am like you: I just use the highest resolution on my PnS Olympus and it works well enough for waht I do.
