he cute doe
JPEG sucks
I alway shot in RAW most, it more advantage than others. From RAW you can
converse to any different formats.
As I did my photography qualifications before I left school in the days of
film I am a perfectionist and I usually shoot in Jpeg as I dont do many
live action shots I can take a few seconds to get the shot exactly how I
want it so I don’t have to be glued to the computer later on, I find this
makes you a better photographer in the long run and knowing your camera,
limits and settings enables me not to have to shoot in raw mode to alter
the shot later on, there simply is no need.. well for me anyway, once i
have what i want to do sorted out in my head and have lights positioned etc
then its down to your knowledge and what you want to do with it.
The only time I would shoot in RAW is if I was been paid such as a wedding
etc, just incase the client wanted something different then I had has
Imagined at the time…
as I say this is my preference and not everyone agrees with me but again
its my opinion… :)
You lost me when you said not to shoot in RAW mode. If you know what you
are doing with your editing software, RAW mode can permit you to make
corrections to exposure, deepen the shadows and contrast of the shot, and
other things that are not an option to play with when editing a JPG.
Excellent video with loads of great information – thanks!
@DonWito84 Completely agree! There have been plenty of times when shooting
landscape where I’ve missed on my settings on the first or second shot,
but, the comp was my best shot! RAW always brings it back with ALL the
detail.
everytime you edit the .jpeg image you losse quaility from compression and
youmight increase your noise levels when you raise contrast or shadows for
a little HDR effect, of course for that youll obviously use autobracketing
, good video though 😉
RAW allows you to always adjust almost every setting you used and you can
go back as many times as you like to create all kinds of different moods by
adjusting temp. tint. sat. etc etc… Lr – ACR or any decent raw converter.
Excellent video, Thanks a lot. My understanding is that RAW files have all
the info, which could be modified in Photoshop later.. If you shoot in RAW
format, you could change it later to JPEG, but not vice versa. It is a
larger file but if you have enough space on your memory card, why not take
full advantage?
@01665714717 I have a review on filters for landscape photography. I didnt
want to make this video any longer than it already is. i know the camera
has nothing to do with getting good pics that is not why i use the d3x. The
mamiya cant get the angles i want. I shoot most of my pics at 14mm. The
wides the mamiya can go I believe is around 28mm.
@newsbatavian I have to agree with you. RAW is like a digital negative, it
keeps its quality forever. As with JPEG, it loses quality everytime you do
any kind of post editing to the image. Why shoot at a lower quality when
the camera is capable of so much more.
@Jacob011 not really, raw is the best format for most everyone but because
of that people tend to over exaggerate its ability
@selant07 I didnt say jpeg is better, why do you people always assume just
because I shoot jpeg i think it is better. I really dont care about 8 vs 16
bit,I have never seen much of a difference, the pics I get with 8 are
plenty good enough. i dont edit my photos so therefore i dont use raw, it
is really easy to understand, it has nothing to do with which is better.
@aeroub He does not use RAW because he “knows” what he is doing. RAW is
essentially for those who don’t know how to utilize the functionality of
the camera to make a decent picture. Though I agree RAW is a good file
format; it gives you great result; indeed better quality than JPEG(unless
you are not good at setting your camera for appropriate shooting situation
to make a good picture), RAW takes up a lot of memory data, hence this can
impede the camera’s ability to process.
@selant07 it is not required and normal people arent going to know the
difference between a tiff and jpeg. I am not trying to impress other
photographers and tech geeks, if you want to do that then you can see the
difference with tiff.
here’s my opinion about sunsets and weather. only a good photographer never
complains about the weather. they only deal with it, and still make the
shot look good.
@QQQQcon I know I don’t hate on JPEG shooters. Personally I could care less
what someone else shoots. I just don’t get the argument… It’s all about
processing power and clearly RAW is superior. Does it make it “better” than
JPEG? I say, if your JPEG is spot-on technically on and your RAW is spot-on
as well…let the photos speak for themselves. I shoot RAW because I want
to develop my shots myself and have the flexibility to take my shots where
I want to artistically.
LOL, seems like JPEG vs RAW is a big controversy in the world of
photography. (i’m a raw-shooter, btw 🙂
@WestCoastMods I like the images i get out of the camera better then when I
edit, simple as that.
@androsce I find that using Low 1.0 gives me much cleaner blue skies. I
dont see any difference in image quality.
@pixcellz like i havent heard that before, whatever you say
I love all the critter sounds in the background. The owl hooting, the
crickets chirping… Awesome 🙂 This guy really knows his camera settings,
too. It was honestly fun to hear him nerding out on his camera for ten
minutes, so thanks for that!
I’ve shot a lot of sunsets in JPEG. There’s one memorable picture that
should have been great, but the gradients just lacked the subtly I would
like to have achieved. Not long ago, I switched to always shooting in RAW.
I won’t go back to JPG. RAW has greater control and subtly. I liked
everything about this video, but like previous commenters, when the
question of file format came up, I nearly choked. I’ve got to say, for any
kind of landscape photography, RAW is the only way to go.
i love your video,, great job !! 🙂 Q– what is your suggested camera
lense for the begginer/newbie like me,,to take a nice landscape photo ..tnx
much
