[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 820821, member: 48483"] As I recover from flu that had me home-bound this past week, I dove back into my photos. Really, nearly all photos were good that night, but I kind of rushed my processing out of excitement to share. I processed every last shot I took that night and I have them hosted now. Here I wanted to show some stuff I fixed. For starters, I had the white balance left on the camera setting, and the auto WB just left things far too green. Had to straighten the images some in nearly each photo. And I stretched the exposure some for each. Here are 3 photos I took in a row. I have the JPG straight from the camera 1st, then the processed image from the RAW file.
