Took this at the nursery. I am planning to try shooting in raw this month and then processing in Lightroom Mobile. Feel free to offer tips and suggestions.
Nice shot- I am no expert on RAW or Lightroom so I won't be able to offer much there. I have tried shooting in RAW but find I process the photo back to where jpg would have started most of the time, so, I just don't use it. However, I know you are really good at figuring these things out so I think you'll have fun discovering how these programs work.
@olivetreeann The camera in my iphone does such a good job most of the time, that I will probably get back to the same as well, but I have to say I am appreciating learning how to use the histogram and I didn’t even realize that there was such a thing as color noise, although I have seen it. So worth it if I have time.
If you persevere you will find that shooting in RAW offers much more scope in post processing. The dynamic range is much greater for one thing, allowing you to recover detail in the highlights and the shadows. I recommend using the histogram when exposing your image so that you can check that there are no blown out highlights. (This is advisable when shooting in JPG as well). There are many tutorials on YouTube for processing your RAW files in Lightroom which will help get you started. Have fun. I look forward to watching your progress.
A wonderful capture and frame filler. After a few years of shooting jpegs, I was persuaded by some friends and followers here to try raw. I did a few comparison shots and soon recognised the benefits of raw. Good luck with your experimenting Debbie.
