Swallowtail

Silver Lake Bristol, PA

Day 2 of shooting with the new camera. The electronic viewfinder is taking some getting used to, but its getting easier each time. Until I find out from Nikon as to why I can't edit my shots in the RAW format(I may have to upgrade to a newer version of Capture 4 software)I can get pretty decent file sizes shooting in the TIFF format. I like shooting RAW because, if the camera's WB is set to auto or according to the weather you can get an incorrect reading or forget to change the setting if the clouds roll in, you can make the correction in the computer later.

Nikon Coolpix 8800
1/278s f/5.2 at 89.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Another beauty! This one is a little tattered too. Still sweet in detail and color. Hope you get the RAW issues figure out.
