Challenge: Free Study 2008-06 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-5D
Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM
Location: Alpine, CA
Date: Jun 8, 2008
Aperture: f/20
ISO: 250
Shutter: 1/200
Date Uploaded: Jun 21, 2008

 Taken at a hummingbird photography workshop. I was borrowing the instructor's camera for this one.

The lesson of the DQ....Don't use Nikon Transfer to upload jpegs to the computer. I usually shoot RAW for challenges, so I didn't even think about whether or not Nikon Transfer was altering my originals. Sigh.

You must retain your original, unedited file (exactly as recorded by your camera), and provide it to the Site Council along with a list of your editing steps within 48 hours of any validation request. Files that have been saved or altered with any editing or transfer software are NOT originals.
