Camera Settings

It's no secret that my children are my most frequent models. It's also no big secret that I love to shoot in camera RAW format.

However, I've recently been challenged to try getting outside of my comfort zone and try living on the edge by shooting in .jpg instead.

So today I set my beloved Canon 20D to .jpg mode and tweaked out the parameters so that the output in .jpg format would match what I generally achieve with Adobe camera RAW and Bridge.

With much trepidation, I shot off a few frames on the way back into the house after lunch out with my kids and friend Leslie.



Frankly, I was amazed. Just a few tweaks to the camera made all the difference in saturation and sharpness!

So I guess I'll be shooting .jpg more often.

I'm definately going to use RAW when the occasion demands it, but now I feel like I can rely on the output from my camera in jpg as well.
