I recently attended a photo outing at Nyhavn (Denmark). I didn't wnat to bother changing cards all the time or loading the stuff into my Flash Trax, so I shot JPEGs exclusivly. Man, that was a mistake. Shooting in the sun in the evening (8-10 PM) provided very harsh ligting conditions. The JPEGs left me with very few options to correct not perfect exposures. What a waste. Most of the images looked like old fifties colour film or film from USSR-occupied countries ;-( >From now on I'll go back to shooting RAW - as I did for the past year exclusively - when ever that is possible (small buffer/slow write speed).

I think this should be etched in electrons someplace prominently. PDML is a gear list, so the discussions focus on equipment, but this is exactly what I've noticed in the time I've followed the list (and every other photo discussion group). I have seen no correlation between equipment and image quality -- virtually every camera and lens, old and new, has produced both wonderful and terrible photographs. I am preaching to myself here, since I have to remind myself all the time that it's not the gear that is keeping me from making better photos. *>Unca Mikey --- Ann Sanfedele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But I have not yet seen that the quality of images of people > shooting raw , from an aesthetic viewpoint, is any better > than those who are shooting jpgs or > film - and that is what I care most about. > > Ann __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
