  1. Really nice photos, Chris! The City Hall closeup is amazing!
  2. Thanks Drew and Aidan

    Well with RAW photography you capture the raw sensor data. With JPG-mode an interpretation of the sensor data is made in the camera and stored into JPG, losing every bit of information the camera thinks it can lose.

    With RAW you delay interpretation till the moment you convert it on the computer. You can choose a different white balance more easily and since you have much more data available, much more detail you can 'correct' much more. A JPG that has been overexposed is much harder to correct than a RAW file, since the JPG compression has thrown away the stuff in the overexposed area since they are not visible normally.

    I am not sure which cams do support RAW and which do not. dSLRs and other system camera's obviously support it. My Nokia N900 of years back did, some phones nowadays do too. My guess is that low-end compacts dont but medium-high range do.

    Ah. I've only a little digital camera - an Olympus something that I use on my exploration shots.

    I'll look more into this as I want to get a new camera for doing really high-resolution shots.
