Because, until now, there's been nobody from Perth here?

At this point, and from looking at the membership list, you're it.

However, that's not a reason to not add Perth to the locales, so consider it done.

I went on a late night photog excursion throughout the Perth CBD after work (3am), not much came outy of it as I am new to the DSLR experience. But i learnt alot!
However I am having trouble webhosting my RAW images if anyone can help it would be greatly aprieciated

Nice images.

Don't expect to find a way of webhosting raw images; that's really not what it's about. Instead, you should consider your raw images as if they're your negatives, and also treat them as your intellectual property.

Use NV, PP, NC or PS to process the raw images (as if you had a darkroom) with .jpgs as your target for output, and then post smaller, somewhat low-res versions of the jpg to the web.

The reason I suggest low res images is simply for bandwidth limitations; not everybody has access to a high speed connection (thanx Telstra for keeping us in the 1880's) and a 5MP raw file, downloaded over a 56 dial-up connection isn't going to be a pretty sight.

Oh yes, browsers don't recognise the raw format either, so most people won't be able to view images posted as raw anyway. :)

Thanx Gary, i thought that may be the case... So would you recommend the use RAW+B (NEF+JPG) format so they can be used in both circumstances?

Ha Click :D

Just fire away in Raw then convert them to JPG & resize for the internet.
That would be the easiest way to go, gives you more space on your Mem card when you just shoot in Raw not Raw + JPG.

Cheers

I shoot in raw + basic myself; but as ray says, you can always create the jpg later.
