RAW Vzs JPEG part 2

 You get the highest quality files when shooting in RAW.
This is one of the biggest benefits. When you shoot in RAW you record all of the data from the sensor.







This gives the highest quality files. And when it comes to your awesome images, you want high quality.
Look at it this way: all cameras technically shoot RAW. Yes, they   do.
The difference when you shoot in JPEG format is that the camera does it’s own processing to convert the RAW information into a JPEG. When shoot in RAW, when you get to the post processing stage you have more data for the software Algorithms to use and improve any noise and sharpening issues a lot easier than a JPEG image.

It is still your choice, it all is. The camera brand you use, the lenses, the computer system, the software, the printer, the paper, the list goes on and on.
Yesterday I had a few comments about various things, one that rang a bell for me was the club comment.
I totally agree with the author that talked about club gear snobs, they are there. You just have to see past them. From my own experiences I have been in a club about 10 years ago that was full of little groups with an experienced photographer with a little group of followers/devotees, lapping up every word they spoke, you had to be invited to join these groups, no thank you. These in a club are worse than gear snobs in my opinion. Once again choices you make, you can change them, it is your choice. Clubs are a wonderful place to meet like minded photographers and learn, We do have to remember that not all clubs are created equal!

Photography is meant to be fun, YES FUN, if it is not, why are you doing it, find another hobby.
