Hey guys, here’s another [Play Raw]. Once again there’s a hidden agenda on my part, evil laugh, which is that I would like a good starting point in nicely editing evening/night shots. I’d like to have your takes on it

Another RAW I’d like to make available from the same shoot is this: 1230181401a.dng (22.1 MB) - licensed as - Preview below. 1230181401a.jpg.out.pp3 (11.6 KB)
I think I caused a bunch of confusion among you good people, with my confused descriptions and such. What I guess I meant to say from the start is that I’m trying to figure out the ins and outs of what it is that makes dark edits look good; from creamy orange highlights to subtle blue shadows. I think I’m a few steps closer in the sample below, and I really appreciate all the collaboration I get from you all!
I don’t get where you want to go with the images…you posted one evening shot and a couple of daytime shots and then said you wanted those to be like the rainy night time image at the end??
Here is a serious version using RT 5.5. I wanted to see how much detail can one bring out from the dark areas in the top right corner. Once again, it is amazing how much this raw file from a tiny sensor can be pushed without artifacts. 1230181640-1.jpg.out.pp3 (12.1 KB)

Here is a shot from a 70’s film in which the three dudes are about to abduct the lady trying to enter the Mafia owned shop 1230181640.jpg.out.pp3 (11.8 KB)
