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.

This is no "ordinary" Henry J (though, in some ways there are no ordinary Henry J's!) as it has a souped up flathead Hudson six powering it! As for my fingers, i'm unlikely to really lose any. I have a healthy sense of self-preservation, which extends to my digits. ;) Mark, one of the HUGE (pardon the pun) advantages of my commitment to the Micro Four Thirds format is that it is very easy to have a "pocket camera" that can use any of my DSLR lenses! Here, <a href="http://www.nikonjin.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=570" rel="nofollow">check this out</a>. Eventually, I hope to find a nice, compact M4/3 camera that is also <a href="http://www.boinx.com/istopmotion/support/inputdevices/" rel="nofollow">compatible with Boinx's iStopMotion software</a> so I can reuse my lenses for timelapse work as well.

These pics with the low angle are beautiful, but you should invest in some gloves when getting your fingers so close to the road. I’m fairly certain that’s a Henry J.
