Mark's Camera Tips
We decided to give Mark a break from cooking so he can teach us some more great camera tips! Today, Mark is breaking down some common photo file formats that every photographer needs to know, including:
Why Would You Shoot Using The Raw Setting?

1. More information and detail if you ever want a high quality print.
2. You can always convert the raw to a jpeg but you can never convert a jpeg to a raw

Why Shoot In JPEG?

1. To save space on hard drive, or if you are on vacation and forgot to bring extra memory cards.
2. If you know you are only going to share the images on the web, like Facebook.

Note: jpeg's can be printed, but image quality may suffer depending on how much you compressed the picture (how small the jpeg is)
