So, if I look at the details there is a part of me in every picture. That and the color you bring to be the photo is always a key ingredient and in that detail you enrich my life. Can you tell? I’m a fan!

But you are unlikely to shift me from my raw addiction :)<br /><br />OmarFs experience is pretty similar to mine and basically my principle with data is that I would rather be looking at it rather than for it. Throwing data away at capture time seems a bizare idea to me, I can always throw it away later - but I will never be able to get it back.<br /><br />One of the things that always gets me with this debate is people refer to the amount of time they spend processing raw files. I think raw probably adds about a minute for every 200 shots I take. I do wonder what everyone else is doing with their raw files.<br /><br />Happy New year.<br />ChrisChris Shepherdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07477371787636884460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477449.post-23551886466233830942010-12-31T14:42:49.578+00:002010-12-31T14:42:49.578+00:00dear Paul,

I have so many students who proudly tell me they are shooting in RAW until I ask them, "Why?" They have no answer other than that another photographer told them they should be doing so, "to get better pictures." That`s when I launch into how ridiculous it is for the average Joe to be shooting in RAW, the mess the gigantic files make of hard drives, and the wearisome efforts that must be put forth in dealing with every single image. All that when the high JPEG files can be altered and changed in a few seconds in even the most elementary of post-processing programs, like Picnik.<br /><br />Great blog entry; I saw it via Claudio's FB stream.<br /><br />All the very best to you and Magda for the new year!<br />ShereeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634049795374306892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477449.post-42794681762478382212010-12-30T03:07:13.265+00:002010-12-30T03:07:13.265+00:00I am trying to get it close in camera.

The intent was to avoid blown highlights, but still have maximum detail in the shadows. I expected to bump the contrast on every photo after the fact. <br /><br />Now that I have the Nikon D7000, it is showing some real promise in the dark areas. It seems better suited to keeping the exposures down. <br /><br />This is a long way of saying I'm evaluating my default philosophy with this new camera. If that change results in a high percentage of non-edited photos, then I could conceivably switch to shooting in JPEG. I really do like the comfort of knowing I can make the changes in post if necessary, and relax more while shooting.OmarFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099058655900354907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477449.post-10901369751377387502010-12-29T21:30:47.669+00:002010-12-29T21:30:47.669+00:00Thanks for the comments, Nico and Omar.

I won't argue with you, but will add my experience.<br /><br />I switched to shooting raw as it is the native file format for my image editor (Capture NX2) of choice. I like the non-destructive edits that allows, so I don't have to manage multiple versions of a file. I now have the raw master file, and a published jpg (for some images only) that is located where my wife is able to see it. In that way, I feel that raw has actually simplified my time at the computer. <br /><br />A secondary benefit is that I don't have to stress quite so much while using the camera for once-in-a-lifetime events. I now just use the Program mode and auto-wb unless I have specific reasons to do otherwise. I concentrate on composition, timing, and focus and monitor exposure. Knowing the other stuff can be edited if needed has made my time with the camera more enjoyable. With batch edits and raw conversions possible, I only custom edit a few images, and don't spend a huge amount of time dealing with the raw files.<br /><br />Again, whatever you're comfortable with. I'd have a hard time teaching my method to someone else. They would likely think it is confusing. But it works for me (except for that space thing!)OmarFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099058655900354907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11477449.post-31544564982013257772010-12-29T17:50:43.646+00:002010-12-29T17:50:43.646+00:00I shoot 99% of the time in JPEG format, it is more...I shoot 99% of the time in JPEG format, it is more straightforward than RAW format.
