Always Shoot in RAW!

During the Christmas break I bought Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom. Here's an image I played around with the other day. Unfortunately I didn't shoot this image in RAW and the white balance isn't right. Does anyone know how to adjust the white balance for a JPEG image?

Image shot in Studio with Strobe Lights.

Playing with shutter speed at the Grotto

I love to play around with shutter speed and water. This waterfall drops into an enclosed cavern, it was so dark I had to use a very slow shutter speed and tripod, but I love the way a slow shutter speed makes the water seem so majestic.

ISO 400, 0.3/sec @ f4.8


ISO 400 0.3/sec @f3.5


My compare and contrast photo. This is a faster shutter speed with the flash. The flash lights the foreground, but it shows how dark the cavern really is.
ISO 400 1/60sec @ f3.5 w/flash
