Description
The sunset last night. I sat outside on the conservatory roof / window sill and it was lovely, warm enough but a cool breeze. Finally winter is maybe ending.

This is part of my first attempt to shoot in RAW (RAW+Highest JPEG at the same time) as a comparison. While it completely ruins my camera's frames-per-second and storage capactity, it has created a much more edit-able file to play with.
I used Photoshop Elements and am slightly concerned i had to set the noise reduction to its maximum but it seems alright in the end, i think, for a first try anyway

Also, i am using this as my first attempt to upload a zip of full size original, and actually make a native 1024x768 'preview' image to see if doing it myself (vs. dA servers doing it), makes any noticeable difference.
Primarily for my own interest but the dA resized version can be seen in my ScrapBook for anyone interested [link]
A comparison image of the two can be seen [link]
