• can correct exposure stops easily
• its better to be over exposed than under exposed so its easily to recover 
• some cameras can shoot RAW and jpeg 
• best for photographers and one you know how to use it makes life a lot easier

RAW Camera Format and Photography

Advantages of RAW

• Higher in dynamic range
• More control over image
• Correctable

Disadvantages of RAW

• Waiting for photo to be processed  on computer

Advantages of JPEG

• Sharper
• Processed by camera
• Smaller image

Disadvantages 

• Lower in dynamic range

1. Using RAW doesn't retain any data and is stored in the camera without compressing... meaning it takes up more space.

2. Once processed on a computer you can manipulate white balance, contrast, highlights, shadows and colors.

3. Not all cameras have RAW, and you will need a higher memory SD car, and you can convert RAW to JPEG but not the other way around. 

4. Most of a photographers time goes in editing, if your not willing to take the time to make a photo better than RAW isn't good for you.

First Free Shoot

Matthew is posing for the camera while i get a shot of him and his skateboard

Matthew fell on his butt after this shot but i liked it because of the angle

Matthew grinned the rail and did a back side 180 off

I was really happy with this project because it was fun and i got to better myself at photography.

I got to many photos of mergers and not enough with my subjects face.

I learned how to shoot better photos and with better quality
