Shooting RAW

[Don Kuykendall_RIP]

I did a lot of shots in RAW last week and I was disappointed. However working on them I do get good results. Disadvantage, I find it a lot of work working in RAW, but the result is there if you put the time in it.

Once you get to know the programs and how to use them it does not take any longer that tweaking a JPEG image. Just adjusting the basics on a RAW file normally doesn't take over three or four minutes. If I go into PhotoShop and start removing things and replacing or moving things then it is going to take a little longer.

I shoot RAW as well now and I but more time in pics I think I am going to post here LOL
No just kidding.

Some photos need more time and others just a few adjustments. I think it is fun to look at the photos and try to get the scenery as it is in your mind seeing it.

For a quick look, my wife want see them when they on the Computer, I use IrfanView. I got an advise here on the board. I will tell her that they are going to be looking better if she brew coffee for me and when she returns she got lots of nice photos to post on her Facebook or line to share with her friends. LOL

A question about shooting fast movements such as soccergames or something like this and you shoot in sportsmode to get the right moment (series shooting)

Ist that in RAW too or to you change to JPEG?

There is no reason to change from RAW to JPEG when shooting action unless your buffer or your memory card's speed is getting clogged from writing large uncompressed files which slows your fps. So shooting smaller JPEG files would help against buffering problems. But then you make a compromise in quality and total freedom in post processing.
