Busselton by night

Photographers Comments
This a magically place for photographers of a evening. Sadly, all but two of my photos of the night time shoot (both raw) were lost with computer problems. Tried to get this to look as I shot it.
Can someone tell me if there is a way to edit raw by default, or do you always have to go in and play with all that is available? Can raw just produce how I shot it without all the trimmings and then do your normal edits in photoshop.

HI Claire
If you check the threads Genese has recently done something on RAW.
You shot is amazing. perfectly balanced. Did you use a blue filter? the sand looks blue. light is great as is the composition

Many thanks Andy, I will try and find that thread. At present it is a battle to find where to upload and comment. The last time I did it, was totally different to the others. Sorry, still finding my feet.
Cheers Claire

Ps, no didn't use a filter..think it may have been the hue that did it. I was concerned about the sand. It seemed no matter what I did, it didn't look right. May have been the lighting?
