hawkACR3.4neutral-1.jpg

This Adobe Camera Raw 3.4 (CS2 Bridge, Mac) conversion is added because the hawk in-camera JPG was only ever put up originally to show that the kit 75-300mm lens, despite its mechanical body drive focusing, could track and lock a subject moving so close and so fast. The in-camera JPEG is, first of all, AdobeRGB which makes it look soft and flat, and too light, when viewed via most web browsers. And it doesn't use the full unclipped range of the raw file. This conversion, with all Auto controls set to off, exposure to -1, shadows to Zero, curve to Linear, sharpness to 0, colour noise and luminance suppression to 0, gives about as good an idea of the raw file startpoint as possible. If this was exported as a 16-bit file, considerable post processing would be possible without loss of quality.
