Ever since I started using my Nikon D80 I've been a shoot and upload person, that is no post-production. I also never shot in RAW format, it was sort of a mystery to me, plus the whole processing thing took time and when I'm shooting at conferences I just want to get it online.
Lately I've been wanting to play around with Lightroom and take my photos to the next level, but it's a learning curve. At Gnomedex this year I spent a few moments with Kris Krug asking him about his Lightroom workflow and he was kind enough to share his process. It's not much, just a few tweaks for color-correction and sharpening.
Over the Thanksgiving break I decided to make the switch, that is start shooting in RAW and using Lightroom for some basic processing. I bought a new 8GB Ultra II SD card which will hold around 650 RAW shots (or 1,800 in the old Fine JPG format I was using). The first test was Bok Tower at sunset yesterday. Here are the shots:

Speaking of KK and Gnomedex, I sat next to him for one of the days last year, and the guy is a complete photo machine. Your MBP has a long way to go to see the abuse his has. http://flickr.com/photos/markx/1080122952/

Josh I didn't think the D80 could handle an 8GB card ... Are you don't RAW + JPEG or RAW only?
