Madsu is still sporting her doubled up lines – a series of gales last week rocked the docks at Horseshoe Bay.
I had to replace a stern line that parted due to the surging – opted to up-size while I was at it. From now until I pull the boat out of the water later this month I think I’ll keep the lines doubled up – we seem to be getting lots of those big winds from the North (which is pretty normal for this time of year).

What photoshop treatment do you use to get the saturated look in these shots?
Thx,

Hi,
I shoot all my photos in RAW mode, which allows me to then change things like colour balance etc. You can read more here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raw_image_format.
I compare it to the ‘old days’ of taking your negative into the darkroom – after having taken the picture, accessing the RAW controls lets you do simple things like changing the exposure, white balance, etc. But it also lets you access tons of OTHER image controls, almost unlimited combinations, just like in a darkroom.
I shoot on either a Nikon D70 or Nikon D200. Most of the photos around boats are on the D70 as I don’t take the D200 on the water. Nikon’s raw format is called NEF and those files can be manipulated using Nikon’s own software (NX and NX2) or within Photoshop. Also, some 3rd party software, like DXO Pro gives you lots of access to the various settings.
Hope this helps – so the shorter answer to your question is I don’t actually treat the images in Photoshop at all, except that PS does give you access to the RAW settings if you camera allows you to show RAW format (which is called different things by different manufacturers – Nikon’s is NEF).

Thanks. We shoot with a Canon 5D and love using the RAW images at my ad agency. I need to remember to shoot more pics when I’m on my Oday 23. I seem to forget.
Keep the great pics coming.
Thanks
