It's a workflow issue...sit for hours correcting bad shots or get it right the first time. Shooting RAW is your airbag...it says I'm not proficient to set my camera and lighting right and I'll just try to fix all the images in post. It takes seconds to set everything right in camera but hours correcting mistakes by shooting RAW.

that is my example of all the settings are fine in camera but in the end with some small bits of tweeking i get 3 completely different feeling images. The taking of the photo is just the start of an image. its what you do with it that counts

[michaelchimera]

Get it right in camera method is the best approach. If you know what you're doing each image should be color balanced when you take the shot as long as you're camera settings are set baseline to the lightmeter then adjust f-stop if needed. If you know how to light and set the camera correctly you should only have blemish removal and tiny tweaks to fix post process.

@michaelchimera never owned a light meter, or a temp colour meter (never heard of one of those) and dont bother with custom white balance as i shoot raw. guess its like driving, who needs airbags if they can drive safely

[msmhw]

please what program you are using for edit it ?

and is the raw pics work with same in all cameras? I have canon 400D

[Dombowerphoto]

@msmhw look at the top left of the video at the start

[thebluecollargeek]

Why were you using an orange gel anyway? Just curious!

@Dombowerphoto "guess its like driving, who needs airbags if they can drive safely"

Best quote I've seen this year LOL. Great video too! (:

Thank you so much, I did not know the difference between the two. You sir, have saved my life for assignments in my photography program! Reason why I looked this up is because I came into the course pretty late. Bye.

@michaelchimera Its not only a workflow issue. Shooting JPG equals throwing away information. JPG is limited to 8bit/channel (256 values), the rest is clipped. RAW formats have up to 14bit (16384/ch) allowing higher dynamic range. There are also other benefits of shooting RAW. The drawbacks (bigger filesize, higher computing power requirements) are negligible for any (semi)pro photographer. shooting in raw doesn't mean you have to fix everything afterwards. it's more like choosing a better film.

I wish I had a RAW lens built into my eye so I could tone down all the Orange make up I see chicks wearing on their face!

I think I'll stick to using beer goggles for now though! :P

[bryonlape]

@michaelchimera I do strive to get in right in the camera AND I shoot RAW.

[chris072580]

@michaelchimera True photography is not just taking a picture and thats it. True photography is taking a good picture and than make it great by editing the picture. Raw format has been around since the early 1900s but back then it was called the dark room.

[chris072580]

@michaelchimera if you spend hours to edit raw files than you are doing something very wrong.. I would rather set my lighting on a 27 inch computer screen then on a 3 inch camera screen. And by the way I do get it right the first time!!!!

[TJCOnes10]

exactly what I want from a video- very brief and precise!!

@michaelchimera and if your sitting for hours correcting shots i think you need to learn how to use your editing program a little better ill shoot 300 club shots in a night and be done importing, editing, and exporting ALL of them in an hour- an hour n a half
