RAW Camera File and Format

Three Advantages to RAW

-uncompressed (an 8 megapixel camera will produce a 8 MB Raw file).
-higher in dynamic range (ability to display highlights and shadows). 
-the complete (lossless) data from the camera’s sensor. 

Disadvantages 
-Not as sharp.

Three Advantage of JPEG

-immediately suitable for printing, sharing, or posting on the Web.
-Higher in contrast and sharper
-Processed by your camera

Disadvantages 
-Fairly small in size. 


1. Raw Files retain a lot more date than JPEG's after a picture is taken.
2. In a RAW file you can manually change the Balance, contrast, highlights, shadows, colors and saturation.
3. You should be aware that RAW files will take up much more space on your SD card.
4. An aspiring photographer would use a RAW file so they can manipulate the pictures better, and have a better final picture.

 This photo taken behind the capital. The subject is the capital building.

 A photo of 6th street in downtown during the Pecan Festival.

A picture of Lake Georgetown. The subject would have to be the lake.

I was happy that I was able to use the wide lens, and take different types of pictures with it.

I would have planned it a little better, because on Saturday I didn't think it would rain. 

I learned how the wide angle lens behaves under certain conditions, and how to take good pictures with it.
