You start shooting in RAW yet?

i tried it but those files are huge and it takes a while for the photo to be captured

asked my teacher about it and he was like unless you're doing portraits/merchandise shots/advertising something dont bother with RAW cuz you can do the same type of edits without the extra presets you get from RAW

so i fell back

Really? Yeah they're big but it's dope IMO to have as much control as possible. I shoot in RAW+JPEG so I have both versions of the shots I take.

I have a 64GB card so space isn't an issue either.

The last 2 pics I uploaded just gave me an idea for the future. I'm sure it's been thought of already, but shooting movie/TV inspired shots could be something I put together.

I didn't realize until after I posted them, but one's titled Toy Story and the other Breaking Bad, and ironically the only reason I snapped those was because they made me think about those 2 things.

i feel you but he was telling me that if you have the settings right when you take the shot the extra control you get with RAW isn't really that necessary

i think my card is 16gb so im good for the most part


to each his own, im tryna get good at editing JPEG right now so im tryna focus on that

my homeboy throwin a party at his sneaker boutique tomorrow so im bouta try to get some good shots and game some drunk bytches

yea man that style is but it's kinda tedious to do cuz you literally have to keep jumping in place until 2 things happen:

1. the camera catches you completely frozen at the right time

2. you maintain your composure to get in the perfect position for the shot





no to mention you look like an a$$hole jumping in place


but the outcome is

if you already know about exposure, diffuse lighting, light/shadows and whatnot you wont really pick up much, but if you're tryna learn about post editing on LR and shyt then digi photo would be nice for you, or could just jump straight into Lighting classes with deal more with in-studio shyt it just depends on what level you're currently at to be honest
