You can buy a ready-made cake and accept the ingredients; quantity of ingredients and how the cake was made. Or, you can bake the cake yourself and have complete control over the ingredients; the quantities of the ingredients; baking time etc ...That's pretty much what JPEG vs Raw is -- letting your camera "process" a final image for you, in camera or, setting up your camera in such a way that you control every facet of the edit by using the extensive dynamic range offered with RAW files.This week I'm looking at 5 considerations when considering JPEG or RAW files - and; I'm editing the raw version of a file to compare with it's JPEG counterpart - which I hope will show some of the depth of a RAW file.Big thanks to photographer Lawrence Brooks: https://creationsbylb.com/photography orhttps://www.instagram.com/creationsbylb63/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FocusOnPhotography-RBPPodcast Home: https://open.spotify.com/show/6OlARf7RfiK83u0Yj983oR?si=579c5b1bdee04641On The Web: www.rustybrownphotography.comBlueSky: @RustyBrownPhotography IG: Instagram.com/@rustyb_photographyVero: @rustyb Email: rusty@rustybrownphotography.com

5 Key Tips -- From Shutter to Storage!
Today I'm talking about 5 Key Tips to success, no matter the type of photography. This isn't about camera settings. It's not about lighting. It's not about the exposure triangle. Rather, this focuses on 5 key things we should do from the time we take the photo to the time we store it.If you'd like to see my full workflow process, please check out this video: https://youtu.be/JOR4r-65VrA?si=k3V6JsEinRRybWlHYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FocusOnPhotography-RBPPodcast Home: https://open.spotify.com/show/6OlARf7RfiK83u0Yj983oR?si=579c5b1bdee04641On The Web: www.rustybrownphotography.comBlueSky: @RustyBrownPhotography IG: Instagram.com/@rustyb_photographyVero: @rustyb Email: rusty@rustybrownphotography.com

Why Manual Mode Matters.
This week I'm talking about the importance of mastering manual mode and how comprehension of the exposure triangle is the key.
Today's camera's are small computers - and, can offer many types of assistance, via pre-programmed options (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Program, Auto, etc). But, before relying on these modes, we should first truly understand -- and master -- manual mode.
Consequently, manual mode success is rooted in a core familiarity and understanding of the exposure triangle; ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. Today, I'm breaking down the exposure triangle and it's connection to manual mode.
