RAW vs JPEG

In this blog post i'm going to show you why I shoot RAW instead of JPEG and the differences between both. There is no easy way to say whether RAW or JPEG is better for you. In the end, you have to think about your workflow and what you want out of the final image. If you want to tinker with your image to get that perfect exposure that you see on magazine covers or gallery walls then raw is for you. If you want to bracket many exposures and layer them into an HDR to achieve that ethereal look, then you guessed it, RAW.

It made me realize that a comfortable job, a guaranteed paycheck, and all these other comforts were not what I wanted out of my life. At least not my 20's. I wanted adventure. True adventure. The kind that not many people seem to be familiar with anymore. The kind where...
