Yes Matt, agreed on the processing.

I am really just starting out. The images were simply me testing things like aperture vs exposure vs iso adjustments, as well as mirror flip up delays and learning to focus more carefully. Having been a daylight photographer for a long time, I've managed to get lazy about using creative controls. When it got too cold, bringing the images into the house and playing with post processing is the next challenge. I've never relied on digital processing before - I preferred composition to get things right. So even simple histograms are new to me.

It's also been a bit challenging learning where all the camera buttons are without seeing them, and where all the previously unused menu settings are.

But it's all fascinating, and I'm really enjoying the learning process.

Looks like I could be out tonight again. Sky is cloudless, and its going to be very cold. Might practice using the laptop camera control software and let it do its thing while I do some visual work with my new zoom EP.

Cheers,
David
