The power of RAW: this picture was taken as a test shot while setting up. Turns out it's a cool shot, but completely overexposed. But since it was shot in RAW, Lightroom was able to pull back all the info that the sensor recorded.

Wow, that's quite the difference. The "improved" version reflects more accurately the actual image you saw with your eyes?

Yes. While setting up we take pictures at different setting to achieve the correct exposure and blend of sharpness/movement in the water. So the first couple of shots are often improperly exposed and thrown away. In this case however it captured an interesting scene; due to the power of RAW we were able to recover details that would otherwise be unrecoverable.

Unreal. Not sure if I'm more blown away by the trip and pictures or that you put in the sheer effort to write this EPIC TR...

Very definitely not over ;D.

There's a tremendous amount of work going into this TR (any TR, really), it just takes time.

You can't rush art ;).

I for one wasn't asking for a rush job. Take your time and let the art speak for itself.
