Feeling RAW!

The weather is gorgeous today after yesterday's rain and I'm feeling a lot better.

So... aware that I've not done many "proper" photos recently, I finally switched the DSLR to RAW, checked that CS2 had "RAW" on its drop-down menu of files and headed off into the sunshine. Took some fab photos at lunchtime, (it's great taking photos around a Uni as noone looks at you walking about with a big camera :-) then came back, went to download them and.......nothing. CS2 wouldn't open them and I couldn't even view them. Grrrr.

I've heard something in the past about bridges - do I need to install one? Any ideas anyone?

Anyhoo, here's a JPEG image instead. We're a Red Brick university and here is part of its red brickness. It's one of the oldest bit of the Uni and is lovely. I'd thought about desaturating, but then it seemed a shame to lose the colour of the bricks.

We do also have an ivory tower which has been blipped before and was very nearly was my blip for today.
