went to the strikers show on friday night. amanda's husband is the lead singer/lead guitar for the band. a good time was had by all. although it was a rockabilly scene, i didn't stand out as much as i thought i would. i took the opportunity to take some shots with my canon eos rebel t1i and mess with the raw setting. at work we've been messing with adobe bridge and holy smokes, if you have a camera that shots raw, you should try and shoot raw as much as you can. the recovery and adjustment range is amazing. here are some pictures of the night. the rest im still working on to upload to my flickr

it's like working with a film negative. almost full ability to recover blown out flashes. simply amazing results.
