Daffodils

There are a bunch of Daffodils growing on the hills next to the roads around the Julian area. This particular shot was taken at Desert View at the north end of Cuyamaca.

I wasn't happy with the way that the clipping that I got in the spots with direct sunlight. I wonder if that could have been avoided by shooting RAW?

Try shooting in jpg and RAW simultaneously if your camera will let you. You'll have a wider range to work with in the editing process and can often avoid blown highlights with RAW files. I rarely have this problem when shooting non-digital. My F100 sensor can handle a much broader range of light than my D70 can. For what it's worth...
