Shoot RAW..shoot RAW....shoot RAW!!

You dont have to practice shooting in RAW - its the same as shooting in any other format. the only difference is in post-processing and the added detail and quality that RAW captures, plus editing RAW is far more versatile.

I shoot in RAW regardless... have always done it and always will. There is no difference between RAW and JPG when shooting!!! As JR said it is only in PP that the differences are noticed with the quality of the image.

I have 4 weddings booked this year and will be shooting in RAW for all of them.

4 weddings Sammy! Well done xxxx

Are they all in the summer?

I still remember the bride with the fabulous outfit

They are spread throughout the year i have one in Feb (well 2 in feb but one i am just a guest ) one in July, one in September and another in December

Can I ask you a question?
Which do you prefer and enjoy the most the Rallies or the Weddings?

How is it going with your new camera?that will be great for weddings

I probably enjoy Rallies more, but unfortunately its very limited on time of year LOL. Also both subjects are vastly different. I guess i enjoy weddings once i am there but hate the build up, the nerves etc. At rallies everyone knows me and i have proven myself at rallies so there is less pressure. At weddings though you are in more control of the shots, you have more time to set up the shots and get them right. At a rally you only have 1 chance to get that dog team and only about 5 seconds to take the shot... sometimes less than that if you don't have a clear view of when they are coming around the corner! It is again vastly different from trackdays too where you have many attempts of getting a good shot as the bikes follow the same line around the track and can do up to 15 laps in a session which is 15 chances!

The new camera is perfect for both though, low light is not an issue.

I really admire all of you that do weddings, balls of steel I think, really don't think i would ever want to do one.too much pressure

I have enjoyed your rally pictures, you can tell you love it too xx

Yes that is an option too!

4!!! Well done you! I'm scared just doing one! Its all I can think about and the wedding is not till September!!

Thanks everyone, I think I'm gonna go Raw! Just need to get the camera out now for some practice and for the editing part too. Wish me luck!!
