Colours of the City

Fireworks are a welcome sight to the majority of us city-dwellers in Singapore. I made my way down to town yesterday to catch some pictures of the Singapore Fireworks Celebrations 2008.

On an aside… I have been searching for a good RAW converter ever since I moved up to my Canon 40D. I found CaptureOne 4 a disappointment although I was previously very happy with the quality I could squeeze out from CaptureOne 3 with my 20D RAW files. I actually bought a copy of Lightroom (version one) which looked initially very promising but was disappointed with the poor colors that I obtained. Adobe has now gone on to release version 2 of Lightroom which now comes with a new DNG Profile Editor system which closely matches the excellent colours I could get out of Canon’s DPP software. Given the excellent interface of Lightroom vs DPP, looks like I will be going back down the Lightroom path soon…
