I get it. I shoot in RAW+JPEG and sometimes the filter I prethought up isn't working and I'll batch edit the RAWs. But I've learned enough and enjoy shooting in the moment. I am happy with my JPEGs 90% of the time. Some examples: www.niedermier.org

I've done quite a bit of camping in the UP of Michigan and have been really impressed by how much beauty can be found up there. Doing Pictured Rocks, Tahquamenon Falls, and Kitch-iti-kipi on a 4 day weekend trip is pretty incredible. So I'd do Isle Royale and hot up a few more landmarks while being up there. Sounds like a good clean inexpensive trip!

As a Michigander Hocking Hills literally changed my view on Ohio. Incredible place. We did an early spring trip with a cabin and hot tub. We want to go back in the summer during better hiking conditions.

It's the jpeg with film simulations........ :( I got into Fuji a few years back. I work in IT and spend all day on the computer, I game quite a bit....on the computer. I did not want another hobby that required more hours on the computer! So, with film sims, I can "pre-process" my shots. I think about all the colors in the location I will be and choose a tone that I like before I go on the shoot. I've been pretty impressed with what I have been able to capture just with jpegs. There are times when the film sim is a complete bust for a shoot, so I do record RAW along with JPEG and probably end up editing 15% of what I take. It works for me! That's all I'm saying.

I had a 1988 Buick Reatta with a CRT in it. Only had one color in it though... Green....... Looked like a terminal from fallout. I miss that car.
