As you know I’m still at the book fair in Gothenburg. And while I’m here, I’m liveblogging for an internal website, an intranet (meaning I can’t link to it, since it’s internal and you can’t log in).
Anyway, liveblogging means several updates per day. That, plus the fact that I’m working with other stuff as well at the exhibition means that there’s not much time to process the pictures I’m taking for the blog.
This leads to the headline of this post: RAW vs. JPEG. Normally I always shoot in RAW. Always. Beucase it gives me so much more possibilities to work with the picture, after the actual exposure. But in this situation, when ‘fast’ is more important than ‘perfection’, JPEG actually fits my needs better. It feels strange though, since I haven’t taken a picture in JPEG-format for about two years. All of the sudden I have to think about white balance and those sort of things. But the pro’s (fast, smaller files, processed pictures right out of the camera etc.) are more than the con’s, so JPEG it is for another couple of days. Then I’ll go back to my beloved RAW-format again.
I’d like to dig deeper into the actual differences between RAW and JPEG, but I’ll have to save that for a later post. Work is calling.
Happy Saturday!
