Bio Bay Collection
Just uploaded a collection of my photos of the Jervis Bay bio-luminiscence over at Flickr. Have a look if you've got a minute :)
So I thought I'd write a little about what I do to my photos once I'm back home. But before I explain that, it needs pointing out that I shoot in RAW because I want to make all the processing decisions instead of my camera. If you're unfamiliar with the format, RAW files are basically unembellished sensor data. When you shoot in JPEG your camera will make all sorts of decisions about saturation and light and they may or many not look satisfactory to you. So I, like many photographers with RAW-enabled cameras, take the camera's opinions out of the equation.

Only basic saturation boost to show off the sunlight.

The Global Photography Club
I was talking to a good friend of mine that other day. She's a professional photographer (20 years in the business) and a published author and we were talking about the influences that surround us. It occurred to me then, more than it ever has before, that circumstances have changed drastically for photographers due to the Internet.
When I first started taking photos in my teenage years (the 1980s) the benchmark that I used to measure myself against was the local photography club. Sure there were books of photographs by famous photographers but they lived in the rarified stratosphere. So the pool of talent that I judged my efforts against we
Maximising Colour in Landscape Photos
I'm pretty lucky to live where I do - on the Pacific eastern seaboard of Australia in the south of New South Wales. It's a largely unspoilt area with some amazing landscape and due to the low levels of pollution and built-up areas, the light can be amazing. In particular the sunsets in this part of the world are amazing - certainly for someone who was born in the UK and spent the first 40 years of their life under low cloud cover and drizzle.
But even with the great light here, there are ways to maximise the colour in your photograph, without turning them into over-saturated Fisher Price monstrosities. There's a line that some photographers

Interesting you are saying this.
I only had four shots one morning, as I discovered that I had forgotten the chip that has more space to save images.
It makes me think how digital photography is about to change some attempts and attitudes of the people who do this.
As to say: I am not a financially rich person, so I otherwise couldn't afford some things I am doing by the help of the tiny digicam I'm glad to have.
It is still the case that, as I can see, brilliant photography does cost, and right this is (or: for just a reason? Excuse, it's not my mother tongue
. But I do the very best I can.)
But the quality how you might experience a second of taking an image might vary, as you now know for sure: "Doesn't matter!"
I remember having a polaroid cam, that I borrowed when I was seven or eight years old, when I was so taken away that I shot the most random items, while I was reminded of taking much more consideration ... "That's expensive!"
(Just wanted to express that I know similar thoughts as those you might carry.)
