RAW is a file format that captures all image data recorded by the sensor when you take a photo. Because no information is compressed with RAW you’re able to produce higher quality images, as well as correct problem images that would be unrecoverable if shot in the JPEG format.
The information within the original shot often contains all the color and definition, just the human eye cannot see it. To the eye it appears all white, or all black. Well the data does not see a single shade of black or a single shade of white where our eye did. It actually sees dozens of shades of those colors. It also picks up the few coloured Red, Green and Blue pixels that were there but our eye could not see. And because of that it can separate, stretch contrast and tone them in post processing.
A quick correction with one of these programs can often reveal that special moment is still there.
Save your Images, even the broken ones.
So the lesson here is never throw anything away it may be saveable in post-processing.
They say an picture tells a thousand words, well that is not quite true. A picture actually saves a thousand words.
We all see images a little differently because our brains and internal thought patterns give higher or lower preferences to certain visual aspects.
We often struggle to describe a picture in exactly the same way to another person. We try to say the same things in multiple different ways in an effort to make it real for our recipient and their way of seeing things.
We are a very visual race. Keep that in mind when preparing posts or content for your website.
People do like to hear your words, they like to know how you think, see if you have something in common.
But make the experience valuable by including well thought out visuals and graphics.
A thoughtfully chosen image invokes strong emotion. The kind of emotion is of lesser or secondary concern.
Having invoked the emotion you now have the readers attention and they are consciously thinking about the topic.
They have a degree of care, now you have the opportunity to tell them the story of your post.
So chose your images wisely, make them relevant, then people are more likely to read your words.
The addition of more images through the main body of the article or post should depict the things you are describing.
The images generate authority in your words. Graphic evidence if you like to use the term.
