For a long time I have been dissuading myself from shooting in RAW mode.From testimonies of photographer friends and from information I read on the net, magazines and books, I am convinced that shooting in RAW provides more flexibility for making adjustments on the image without sacrificing the image quality of the file.
My problem has always been my hardware. For a time, I did not have the needed hardware to effectively and efficiently process RAW files. Because of this, I procrastinated. Having been able to get myself a more powerful computer, I finally decided to give RAW a try. The experience has been extra exciting for me as I also experimented utilizing the wireless flash capability of my camera.
It is true that shooting RAW provides the photographer with more flexibility in processing the captured image. However, like all things, shooting RAW also has its downside. If one shoots in RAW, one has to have lots of storage space. You too, have to have the luxury of time to do post processing.
If you are not familiar with what a RAW file is, here is a site that provides a simple and concise explanation (http://www.luminous-landscape.com/tutorials/understanding-series/u-raw-files.shtml).
