This one is not HDR. But if you guys are up for it, I can post the original and see what u guys make of it. Just to see how you guys would process it.

I really need to shoot everything in RAW ffs, don't know what keeps me from doing it. I guess I oftedn take pictures of partys and friends etc that I forget to switch to RAW when I wanna take decent pictures.

You don't need raw for decent pictures, it's a digital negative for post-processing. If you know what you're doing, there's nothing wrong with JPEG. It's harder to correct a faulty white balance setting, but not impossible.
p.s. there are plenty of interesting things to shoot, just look around and start observing.

I always shoot RAW.. there's no good reason not to. If I want to shoot B&W, I shoot RAW+JPEG (or film).

Diving in a tiny bit myself.
Wouldnt ever expect anything near as nice as you guys. And kansas has pretty bland shit to take pics of. but none the less, i bought a shitty Fuji S700. It does the job, i just need to learn more about settings and shit.
Couldnt decide which one i liked. SO f it, theres both.
Some random statue. Fucking with the B&W setting on the camera. Meh
A random wall on the side of a bank.

lol.. and here's what happens to film when the cam gets wet:
The purple marks are stains from the film touching the in the machine and the little orange dots are chemicals that didn't get washed off. Don't use an xpan in the rain...

Flip the photo upside down, that's how I really shot it at 1/15s.

All of the panoramics and most of the square shots are film. The others depend but are probably digital.

No idea, but considering I can recoup 80-90% its value in the used market, I don't really dwell on it.
