Construction Site -- First RAW Shoot

[mjm]

There is a construction site about 200 yards from my house. They are building 300+ homes. I have wanted to go and shoot over there since they started. Last night was the perfect opportunity, the girlfriend was out and the puppy was asleep. I got my gear together and headed out. I decided to shoot in RAW for the first time last night. WOW!!! RAW is the only way to shoot. I also got to use the mirror lockup feature, pretty sweet there too.

Here are a couple of photos taken both were taken with my 300D and my 50MM F/1.8. I don't remember the exact settings for each image. What do ya think?

Hacked firmware. I also have ISO3200, Single Shot focusing, etc....

RAW (only 1 R) is an unprocessed image.

i can't explain the way these photos make me feel, the first time i looked i was like what? but i think they are very unique, the color is perfect i think, and they are very simple. great job

Thanks Devin. I was really just testing out RAW mode with that first one. That was shot at 1145pm with no flash. The only light was the moon

The 2nd is a more interesting image IMO.
