Last night was a visit to the lights before Christmas Display at the Toledo Zoo. I generally try to come away from these types of things with some tangible knowledge, last night there were three.
1. The "Delete from camera after import" function is not that cool.
I didn't realize that the images you leave behind on your camera can serve as a handy backup if something goes wrong in the transfer process. I learned this the most effective way, by losing images in the transfer and not having a backup. Just format the card after you transfer successfully.
2. "Raw" is not all its cracked up to be.
I love taking pictures. I do not love spending time in Photoshop to make every image look right. You may or may not know that when you cmaera turns that Raw image into a Jpeg that it applies certain "tune-ups" to the final image such as additional saturation and contrast depending on how you set it. Raw is just that. I know you can adjust more from Raw, but for me the fact that you have to is kind of a waste of my time. I will settle back into my quest to take solid captures with good light and color on the first run and not fret about the ability to correct for massive error after the fact. If you are making major errors then you may have things to focus on other than Photoshop.
3. Okay so I got interrupted and forgot what the third was. It was important and when I remember I will post it.
