Nikon’s capture NX is kind of hard to like, it is a slow app, with not that great an interface ^_^;
http://www.capturenx.com/en/lessons/lessons/index.html ; Some online flash videos on Nikon’s site explaining how to use NX – Mostly what you can try to do with NX is get better colors from your images consistantly with a new profile, but your colors look fine 98% of the time so – Eh . For you there’s no real need Especially with the amount of pictures you take.

I live in australia now. But I can still give you directions, as Im an expert finding where I used to go on google maps. I never put any pics up because I didnt think I could generate an audience to watch them. I actually lost a bit of interest in taking pics because of that. Sadly no one has really viewed my pics. Ill email you some pics on the weekend. Have you thought of featuring other ppl pics from other cities in Japan? I think the amount of content you put up each day is great. but shibuya246 addicts could proably view alot more content each day.

Thanks. I think the web site is great. I used to live in Osaka and used to walk around finding interesting hidden areas to photograph. I wish I had thought of putting pics on a site like this. If your ever in Osaka I know an endless amount of places you could visit.

Hi, would it be possible for you to include a google map showing where you walked and indicating where interesting things are located? That way I can get to know tokyo better before I visit.

Some good points here. Lots to think about. I tried RAW once, but didn’t like the results. I tried Nikon’s software but didn’t like that much either. Prefer to let the camera process a JPEG at the time of shooting and if its not the image I want, check the display and then take another. The main thing I change on the camera is to adjust the WB if the image is too dark or too light. I also have been playing more with the aperture setting lately as well to work the fast lenses down at the f/1.4 level

I might have another look at the NX Capture software but retouching specific parts of the photo after it has been taken doesn’t really interest me.

Probably this shot I took with the 300mm lens of the Shinagawa Birds. http://shibuya246.com/2009/11/22/shinagawa-birds/ Now we know what is down there

Thanks. I used to work in a tall building near there and would look out at the NEC building often. It’s great how landmarks can bring back memories
