An ephiphany regarding dynamic range
2

I've had a Canon 650D for 1 year now (my first DSLR) and have sometimes been unhappy with the dynamic range of photos. And the HDR function on the camera (blending 3 shots) is crap. Previously, I would just tweak the jpegs using Windows Photo Gallery (changing the shadows and highlights) but that still had its limitations. Now, I realize I should just shoot in RAW and do PP using free software such as Canon DPP. Perhaps in the future I will upgrade to Lightroom or other paid software but this 1st step is already a revelation for me. Should have realized this earlier. This seems like a whole lot better and cheaper (free) option than buying another camera + lens combo in an attempt to get better DR.
