What do you shoot?
My first six months or so I was shooting JPEG's, but the last couple of years has been RAW. I have no reason to go back to JPEG's. Gary

What do you shoot?
If you would have nailed the photo in jpg then there is little to nothing you need to do with RAW, i believe you meant that. Unless I am just wanting snaps, or trying timelapse stuff, then jpgs are fine. Just converted a Nikonian colleague I work with to shoot RAW, he been jpg for years... and he...

straight or processed?
Bret and Simon what I for example meant is ETTR (expose to the right) that's one technique to maximize data. Basically you deliberately over-expose your photo because more data is captured by the sensor in the lighter area than dark areas, because you overexpose, the camera output is not close to t...

straight or processed?
Perhaps I have not understood the question but I don't think there is a simple binary, black or white, answer to this. From my direction it all depends on what you are trying to achieve for a particular shot. For most of my work I try and shoot for an absolute minimum amount of post processing. ...

straight or processed?
It all depends on how much time I have to get the photo. I usually set the camera to underexpose a little and concentrate on aperture, shutter speed and focus - things you can't change later. Changing levels, contrast, sharpness, etc in Photoshop is no different to what I used to do in my darkro...

Why do we have to clutter this forum with welcome messages, especially when the user being welcomed hasn't even logged in for some considerable time. I almost exclusively use the 'New Posts' method of viewing posts and I find it very frustrating when another member has logged in purely to create ...

I am guilty of using the 'Just Joined?' section of this forum as I thought that it was a nice way of introducing myself and what I am about to this site. Guess I got one of the longest introductions made but at least members that read my first post knew a bit of me and I got quite a few welcomes b...

It's the economy stupid. Traditionally when the economy is dodgy people resort to gold in the (false) belief that it is a safe investment. Once the economy is buoyant again, and interest rates go up the price of gold will sink again. No it won't. Gold has, apart from a couple of tiny blips, alw...

No it won't. Gold has, apart from a couple of tiny blips, always gone up in price. http://goldinfo.net/yearly.html All the way back from 1793 A totally unbiased source there, Smeggy. Is it inflation adjusted? I presume the price of Jam has also increased year on year if you don't take inflati...

I don't care what gear you use...
"Hopefully this isn't too inflammatory." Inflammatory IMO can be good if not accompanied by nastiness :) So to add to the discussion I DO care what gear I use. But I also agree with you. I've taken some cool pictures that wouldn't have been any better whether I'd used a DA* or LTD or a cra...

The focus is really about sharpness here, what about the other things? The Bokeh shapes the background blur and i believe that's an significant part of the photo and what about the colours, contrast? I know that dont make the photo but they do shape it. Also photography isn't just used as an ...
