About the Image(s)

Maybe I should have titled it opportunity lost. This was photographed with a new camera, OM-1 MKII with a 12-45 f4 Pro. I decided to create some custom settings, total of 4 available through the main dial. Unfortunately, I set the file type to RAW when I first turned on the camera, but didn't realize when I went to custom settings, it defaulted back to Mid-JPEG. If a photographer is going to create custom setting, why would he possible pick M-JPEG and absolutely crush the dynamic range of the image. Nonetheless, lesson learned and WILL NOT happen again. This is a 3 stop HDR processed in LR, basic adjustments then off to Color Efex Pro and something I never do, pick a preset. Then back to LR for vibrance and some highlight adjustments.
