A lot of confusion about RAW and JPEG in the comments, so as a computer scientist I feel it's my duty to clear things out. When you take a picture it will always be in raw, even your old ass phone do so. But if you choose to save it as jpeg your camera will compress it for you. Doing so the camera will make certain editing decisions. A RAW file do not have information about how e.g. the white balance, or contrast should be, but a jpeg must. This is why jpeg's may look less grainy, more vibrant and more contrasty straight out of the camera. But when that's done with that it will throw away any information not needed to display the pixels as the camera decided to. As well as some other information to make the file smaller. This is because it's a compression format, a lossy one. Every time you save it you will loose a little bit more detail of your picture. A RAW file is just an uncompressed data space, it will have all information the camera collected, and then you'll have to decide how to present the image later at your computer. Never ever edit a jpeg, unless you lack the RAW. Even cropping will remove detail through out your picture (unless you know where your block boundaries are). jpeg's should only ever be used as a final image, one that you'll never edit again. So save your RAW files, in case you'll ever want to change anything else about the image. RAW's are like a negative, JPEG's are like a paper picture.

alexlanza79 _"I was just saying that people can make photos with whatever camera they want and the quality is not something of an absolute!"_ That is exactly right. 30 years in the business and I can tell you pros are never as fussy about gear as amateurs. That guy in the other thread can't tell you anything valuable. I have shot with Olympus, Nikon and Canon and the only difference for me is the way each handles. The old Nikons focused in the opposite direction to Canon and Olympus. That was one thing. I think my old Bronica was the same. It doesn't make any difference to the pictures. Forget gear. Buy the camera you like and then think about pictures. Another tip: learn to work with backgrounds by spending a month shooting at f/8. If you spend your entire time shooting at f/2, you won't learn about making backgrounds work for you because they will always be out of focus. I know it's the current rage but most people who do it think it's more creative. It isn't. It's a fad and you end up learning nothing about subject placement, background choice. working distance or composition.

TheThirdMan Thanks so much for the tips, I really appreciate and I'll go for it. About the print quality, again, I'm a 2 year beginner and I don't have any knowledge, I was just saying that my friend prefer the quality of a print from Nikon than Canon, but it's not definitive, it's an opinion based on things I don't even know. Maybe in 20 years I'll be able to say that I prefer one print over another, but the fact is: a good pictures is about what you want to express with it and not about the mega pixels of the sensor or the f 1.8 and much less the brand, if there is one thing I've already learned is that photography is about art. Just to give you an example, I shoot recently during a dance recital with my d3100 and the kit lens 18-55. The light was awful and I had to shoot with a tripod right in front of the stage (in the center thank God!), most pictures with f 4 or 5, 3200 ISO and at 1/80 sec! You can imagine the poor quality. But I'm also a dancer and that helped a lot. I reviewed the photos with the dance teacher and she was amazed on how I was able to get the motions! Almost nothing was sharp, but she liked the fact I was able to get the pictures of the best moment of each show and the moments where the guys were in sync! Counting my gear I think I can give that gig a 6 out of 10, but for her was a 9 out of 10 'cause I was able to capture the essence of the routines!

You are right Alex look up a guy (unless you already know of him) Bill Brandt some of his work was taken on cameras that had major flaws in the lenses but he used it to take some brilliantly effective images. As the guys are saying forget the kit find the picture. Kit is like a paint brush they vary in quality but its the final painting that counts. Happy shooting

***** Photoshop Lightroom is much more efficient to deal with. Using presets can get your work faster(there are existing, downloadable and you can create your own to suit your needs) and the batch import to DNG before you process your picture and batch export to JPEG afterwards just works for me.

I was reluctant to switch from Jpeg RAW ....but the difference is night and day. The RAW shots are cleaner,sharper and just seem all around a better shot.Someone mentioned the fact that you can click away on Jpeg and it's cheaper because you don't have to spend money on SD cards. Well, first , I use a class 10 HD SD card and 2nd,because I know I can't afford to buy card after card, it makes me think about a shot before I take it. Once you learn the basics of aperture,ISO and shutter speed....your good. I have always had a problem with composition. With camera phones and all kinds of apps, everybody is a photographer. Not true. You can get so confused with all the technical aspects you forget that it's about catching a slice....a split second of time and keeping it forever and THAT can be a beautiful and magical thing. Good luck.

They love it and most have never heard of raw. They usually comment how much more vibrant the colours are, and everything looks more real. Raw is awesome!

Not true. Shooting in RAW, which gives you larger more detailed files and if necessary, over exposing just a bit will provide a huge amount of information. Underexposing takes away information as it can not be read by the chip.

Hey Bethany; I’m an old school boy, and my dad taught me the basics of photography. Now I’m talking early 80’s, so he had a Canon AE1 SLR. Now who doesn’t know that this model changed the world of Canon. I bought a few DLSRs along the way, as an amateur guy. Currently I have the EOS400D, the EOS600D, and about 2 years ago I bought an EOS77D. I have a few lenses of the EF series, plus filters et cetera. I honestly am quite a busy psychiatrist so time was a prime factor. Recently I did some introspection; I started reviving my teenage hobbies, like astronomy, electronics, computer hardware and software, and of course photography. I really found your brief tutorial as an eye opener because you actually gave some valuable tips were I was not paying attention to with the DSLR world: slow down & shoot in RAW format (JPEG is actually rubbish). Thanks again, and from now on, I hope that my wife and daughter are happy with my shooting. Have a good day, and keep up with your insightful tips.

I agree about shooting in RAW. Some say they only shoot important images in RAW, but all of your photos should be important. I've only been using a DSLR for nearly two years now, but always use RAW + Jpeg. With processing done in Lightroom. The perfect combination. I do a lot of aviation photography, and was advised to use shutter priority for aircraft in the air, but I have had much better results using full manual. It gives you total control.

My cameras have only ever been a tool to create my photographs Every exhibition I have ever been to, If its not written on the bottom of the print, I'm buggered if I could tell you what camera was used to create it

Your statement my friend proves you are nothing but a poser. Any good photographer would not be ashamed walking around with a kitlens... We know it is not the cam... but the skills you have with a camera. I believe you would have problems with Lens sizes too? as if it were your dick right? Shut up.

Older backgrounds or settings can often be more photogenic and allow a different or brighter subject to stand out more. This is a good example, a beautiful woman in a bright white dress in an old bus with graffiti and what not brings out and allows people to focus more on the person verses the big picture.

I've gotten into the habit of checking 'every' photo histogram, as it tells me if I have overexposed, or if most of my image will be dark. For the second it takes, I've found the histogram to be a valuable tool in photography personally. My camera has two slots, of which I shoot one in RAW and the other card makes a .jpg, where I put all my RAW files on an external drive, and .jpg's go to my computer. I have Lightroom, so that is what I use for the RAW files, and I also use Aurora HDR Pro making the whole process easier.

Just like the photo of the bride in combat boots in front of a military chopper, you don't know the brides back ground. When you take photos, shoot where ever you want. Until then, don't waste time with pointless criticism.

You might want to specify in your title that this is more geared towards beginning *professional* photography. The eleven year-old in the comments doesn't need to learn how to pose people (or myself, for that matter), for example. I also saw several people who didn't even know what the RAW format is, which takes up far more space. If people are this new to photography, chances are they won't have adequate storage to handle shooting in RAW, but rather, only in JPEG. Sorry to be so critical. I still think this can be very helpful, just perhaps towards a slightly different audience.

Why doesn't the 11 year old need to learn about pose? I think that the earlier they start learning the better for them! i have a 5 year old who loves taking pictures, I have given her my camera and she's good for her age. it's just a matter of helping them understand/learn.

False. Many people think that you need an L lens. But you can actually find early EOS EF lenses from 1989 in good condition. Take for example the Canon EF 28-70mm F3.5 II. This lens is ridiculously sharp & is on par with L lenses...and it's only $100 on ebay. The only downside is no IS/USM but very easy to get over. Also got a hold of a Canon EF 50mm F1.4 recently which has been my fav so far. This should keep me busy for a few lol.

DON'T use a flash if u want to look like a pro...
@holly4523
@holly4523 5 жыл бұрын
Depends on the flash. Fill flash can be useful on a sunny day to avoid your subject being in shadow and the background being lighter. Also, certain flash can be bounced off of a white or reflective surface to give the subject that flattering soft glow. A bit like a soft box. You can use a speedlite flash with a diffuser as well, but again if you’re not taking portraits these flashes may not be necessary. Landscapes need no special flash but there’s that golden hour rule and depending on what you want to stand out, you’ll want to play around with exposure and perhaps metering modes to set up the idea and relations in the scene. And again, with regard to a flash, it matters how you use it. If you have a popup flash on your camera like I do (I hate it because it pops up at inopportune moments even if I turn the mode to no flash) you can lightly tape a piece of paper curled loosely over the flash to diffuse it. The woman in the video was probably using a speedlite or something with an attached diffuser or had an assistant that held a reflector or white diffuser. The shot in the video has a limited context of the photographer in relation to her environment. Pros use flashes too. It’s just a matter of what kind and how you plan on using them.
