My friend finally showed me how to get most out of the RAW images. Here is a couple of pics from today

Oh, wicked! My semi-pro friend says, "ALWAYS shoot in raw."

PS...your front tires are looking kind of old in those pics.

Are they HDR? Or just one image, tweaked?

RAW takes up so much more space!

Nice job. Second one is awesome.

Take care,

Car looks great! See you in the AM!

Are those straight out of the camera?

Camera make and model? Lense? Settings?

Special modes?

Post processing?

Noob question. What's RAW image and how do you set it?

Looks great. My wife is a professional photog and has taken a bunch of pics of my car in raw. Love it!

I love anything my wife does in the raw.

You beat me to that line. It had to be said!

Canon xsi (entry level DSLR) with Canon L 17-40 lens. ISO 100, F6.3 or 7.1 and shutter at 1/60).
You take RAW image from the camera and play around with the image (vibrance, exposure, shadows, clarity, saturation etc.) in photoshop or whatever processing software you may want to use. Technology is amazing nowdays.

RAW image is uncompressed/ unprocessed image. The short version is when you take a picture there is a processor in the camera that decide what the image should look like and deletes many megapixels that are deemed unnecessary so your images are not too large. The RAW image has all of the megapixels and hasn't been processed (hence RAW). Then you can have much more flexibility playing with the image settings without loosing quality and decide how the image should be processed.
