Comments on: RAW usage up massively http://smallaperture.com/raw-usage-up-massively/ Photography news with a greater depth of field Sun, 05 Sep 2010 07:28:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Antti Leppänen http://smallaperture.com/raw-usage-up-massively/comment-page-1/#comment-4 Antti Leppänen Tue, 01 Dec 2009 09:26:01 +0000 http://smallaperture.com/?p=9#comment-4 My main reasons for start shooting exclusively RAW were actually the ones said in the first chapter, especially with white bal and dynamic range. Before moving to RAW I experienced some HDR-shooting, with poor results. I did really not find any common day use for HDR in my photography. It's a cool effect, but you have to be careful not to put it on every single scenery shot. Just like with this Dave Hill effect, IMO. Now I have been using only RAW for about one year. I shoot everything in RAW, photogigs, customer projects, things home, personal projects. All. Storage usage has though, not sky rocketed but got higher since moving to RAW, but hey. Disc quota usage is nothing to the fact that you can get more out of the RAW images.
