[QUOTE="John P, post: 377923, member: 9693"] I guess I am the odd duck. I only shoot raw in extreme varied lighting conditions. I still use a hand held light meter. Or spot meter in camera. I also use a gray card, or expodisc for white balance. I am in no way against post processing as I did plenty of that in the dark room. But I am extremely color blind. Which makes digital manipulation very challenging. I also shoot in manual mode. Gives me more control, and I find it way faster than aperature, or shutter priority and messing with exposure compensation. 3/4 or more of the images I sell are shot in jpeg. That does not mean that I never shoot raw. Studio-flash controlled setting I shoot jpeg Street photography- I shoot manual mode, spot metering, jpeg Action- Manual mode jpeg Landscapes- manual mode, spot metering. Jpeg Events with mixed lighting- Raw Extreme backlighting- Raw For me Raw vs Jpeg is not an arguement. Whatever works for you is what you should be shooting. Bear in mind, when I do have time while shooting Jpeg. I still bracket my shots. Being as color blind as I am, white balance has definitely been the worst part of digital photography for me. [/QUOTE]
