Hi ,
In my recent YouTube lesson videos, I've been showing you how to use the creative tools inside your Fuji camera in order to expand your "in the moment" creativity when you're out shooting.
The Fuji's all have great sensors and they do produce wonderful RAW files, but there's a certain magic that you gain when you move away from the traditional RAW workflow and embrace the creative moment with your photography.
Now, I'm not saying that you should never shoot RAW, but we've all been indoctrinated by the big names to believe that we HAVE to shoot RAW all the time if we want to be serious photographer and produce good quality work.
However, that's simply not true.
The color and tonal processing technology inside your Fuji camera is so good, that in most cases, you're not losing anything by shooting JPEG, and in fact in most cases, you gain a huge amount of creative liberation, freedom and "in the moment" magic that's lost if you wait to process your images later.
When you shoot JPEG, you're not giving up any resolution, you're simply letting the camera do your processing. You're simply taking advantage of the color science and expertise that Fuji has perfected in their 80+ year history.
Add in all of those tools I've been talking about in my recent videos, and you actually have a great deal of control right in the camera. In many cases, you can actually get as good or better results than if you sat in front of your computer doing post processing. Besides, what does that really give you, except more time at your computer?
Either way, thanks for reading , enjoy the video and have a great weekend!
