RAW

Today is the last day of my 5 day medication.

I’m feeling as good as new. Thanks Queensy for the concern.

According to Wikipedia: A raw image file (sometimes written RAW image file ) contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of a digital camera or image scanner. In digital photography and digital film, a digital negative is data which represents “raw” unprocessed image data, and fulfils the same role as a film negative in traditional chemical photography: that is, it is not directly usable as an image, but has all of the information needed to create an image. Unlike traditional photography, a digital negative is not actually in negative (i.e. reversed color and shading), instead it is a positive image.

Since I started to shoot in RAW format, I never shot in Jpeg again! There is so much control on the colours & exposure of the image using RAW that’s why I decided that all my shots will be in that format.  It cuts my maximum shots into half but at least this time I can do “Quality than Quantity” practice.Yesterday was Ate Reg’s birthday.  I just got my new Diffuser the other night so yesterday I made sure I could practice with it with my fave subject – “the Kids”. We (’rents & I) were there from lunch time.  Dami food!!! YUM YUM!!!  Hubby had work so I had to bring baon na lang for him.  Karen, Lulu & Don came in at 4pm with the ice cream cake. The kids loved it! Kita nyo naman na super yummy sya itsura pa lang. but…I didn’t have any. I went crazy over the Kare Kare, Palabok & Cassava Ate Reg made.

   

 Here are just a few samples of what I was able to capture.  It was great coz Jerome was never this eager to have his pic taken.  I had loads of fun with him! Gosh! He’s so big na!!!  He’s gonna be such a heartbreaker when he grows up!

   

 Here’s Joreine.  SHe was too busy watching TV so it wasn’t easy to get her to stay & pose.

    

 I doubt I will ever be a professional Photographer. I am just not patient enough to do the things that a pro does.  Plus, my rebellious tendencies just tend to take over so that I find my own way into things.  Anyway, to me a photograph is just a Raw Material in my pursuit to achieve the final image. 

I got this book below from Karen.  Been reading through it and learning some tips & tricks on how to achieve that look I want on my work.  I still have so much to learn.  Wish I have more time to practice and more pics to practice on.

THAT’S ALL FOR NOW!
