Joe McNally - Control of Color (2/2)

"The best photographs move you—emotionally, intellectually, spiritually. There's almost a visceral reaction to a really striking photograph that communicates on all those levels."

Joe McNally has been described as "perhaps the most versatile photojournalist working today," a distinction earned for his ability to capture compelling images in locations as diverse as an operating room, the top of the Empire State Building and the cockpit of a jet aircraft. Noted for his technical mastery, what makes him unique is his ability to create and imaginatively render "the big idea"—the unique or startling concept that frames a single image or a long-term project.

He has been published in virtually every major magazine, including Life, Newsweek, Time and Sports Illustrated (where he was a contract photographer for six years) and is a recipient of the Alfred Eisenstadt Award for outstanding magazine photography.

@proTest443 you;re blind or what? didn't you see there's RAW + NORMAL on the LCD?

Nadie se anima a traducir??

@proTest443 Oh absolutely, there's far greater room for adjustments. Then again, in the commercial field...such as sports or some advertisement/marketing sessions won't even give you time to edit photos because they might need that photo THAT day. Also if you worked out a contract stating that you won't release the "original" RAW file and only Jpeg, then you have no choice but to do everything in camera for major client work. Either way regardless, in camera is best.

@mmjk84 but you would always get more quality of the RAW file even if you are not making any changes...

@proTest443 LOL, I thought the same thing, BUT then again, if McNally can get the right exposure with the right effect, there's no need to shoot in RAW to make adjustments in color, exposure, contrast, etc. He gets it right in camera and saves him time in post. He's probably one of the fastest workflow workers

His assistant looks irritated while he is explaining the SB-900 functions.

I noticed that the picture names were something.JPG why the hell is Joe McNally shooting JPEG on a D700 instead of RAW?!?!?!
