Excellent thread as always.... I was waiting for this thread. But it was a real disappointment to see that you were not allowed to even go to Daokhan let alone Sheesha Mali and Kafir Khan. This was my destination for this year with my family. Is this stoppage by Pak Army permanent and everyone has to get NOC from Hattian Bala or is it temporary? Also does one need NOC from both DCO Hattian Bala and the army or will the NOC from DCO suffice? Also are they giving NOC to visitors?

I said to myself ..better luck next time ... And we will come again Inshallah

And we are going again infact hehehe after Eid.

DCO Hattian Bala NOC will be enough to let u enter Leepa Valley. For the time being it is applicable to everyone unless u r going there in an army vehicle or any army personnel is accompanying you.

DC Muzaffarabad can also make these NOCs but better to take it from Hatthia Bala.

If u have army connections then ask them to communicate for your visit to 2 Army brigades resident in Leepa region.

At the time of harvest in early autumn and on "urs" at one of the darbars, lots of people visit Leepa Valley. Locals were saying that may be this restriction will be lifted at that time as rush increases a lot in those days.

I shoot RAW and process them with Adobe Camera RAW commonly known as ACR.

Same can be done in Lightroom as well.

yaar the thing is RAW is like negatives of the photo.

When camera takes pics, it does all the processing within camera and saves it as JPEG.

If u shoot RAW then camera does not do the processing and u can do it yourself later on like developing the negatives.

The details of the scene reserved in 14 bit RAW files is much more as compared to 8 bit JPEG files.

So, if u try to apply same processing on a JPEG file then it will be messed up. JPEG can be processed but to very little extent. While RAW files have large room to process exposure, white balance, sharpness, colours and noise levels.

The reason i shoot RAW is that my 70% shots are from moving vehicles and i do not have much time to take shots of same scene so RAW helps a lot even if some of the camera settings were not ideal for the scene which i can fix later on.
