Hi Coolzephyr, basically, RAW capture give you serious processing power for your images and for those who likes to work through an image to get the most out of it. Technically speaking, RAW is 16-bit data file compare to 8-bit data in JPEG file. Meaning RAW can hold more tonal and color...

Sometimes I use RAW format. I'm really not an expert in raw here and it is quite a difficult topic to discuss hehe... I think the raw photo will look a little different to your JPEG since there is no basic image processing done to it such as saturation, sharpness, contrast, noise reduction apply...

Yoz..thank you ombre and coolzephyr for your encouraging comments. I am completely flatter by all of your good comments. I only have CPL and UV filter (which i always keep it on). For the sunset i did not use any special filter. I only did some contrast adjustment using Adoble camera raw...

I have try to take protrait shots with blurry background effect but i did not get good results. But for smaller items, flowers, insects etc., it is not a problem. So always use smallest aperture, some zoom (longer focal length) and may even need to try switching on macro button. I tried to...

HI Guys! I am relatively new here. Just wish to share with you the photos I have taken using FZ-18. I am new to photography and interested to explore the limits of my FZ-18 camera. Please feel free to comment on my photos at http://flickr.com/photos/13345638@N06/

You can get CPL from alan photo at Sim Lim square too other than those other places recommended by others. I think I got mine at about $25~$30. can't exactly remember. I think the demand for 46 mm is low since its not dslr. so not much choices for brands. Mine is Hoya.

Umeiko, impressive result for the 2nd pic by handheld. May I know whats the iso setting, aperture and shutter speed you have used? It would be nice if you can try some test shot of the same scene using tripod.
