    Thanks B&H, Michael Melford delivers a fantastic seminar. He is witty, knowledgeable and he makes the viewers believe that they can be good photographers. I thoroughly enjoy his work and hope that I will be able to attend one of his field trips one day.

    You have some incredible shots.

    int the picture at 8:52 where a swimmer is seen to attempting a dive, could you go for a higher shutter speed? Because the picture of the person came out blur. Also it was a sunny day which would been helped you had thought for as said higher shutter speed lets say 1/1000. what do you say?

    Love your video and you are fun to watch. I have a question I just started shooting in raw and I had 900 pictures to download and fix. I noticed that when I saved to JPG the quality still didn't seem as good as the raw file do you have any suggestions or is this normal?

    • @BandH
      @BandH  10 років тому

      So we may best address your issue, if you could, please resend this inquiry to askbh@bhphoto.com, and also please include the following details:
      1) What model camera you are shooting
      2) What software you process your RAW files in
      3) Are the Jpeg files you are referring to converted from RAW files, or are they processed as Jpegs in-camera?
      4) What Software you are using to edit your images if different from #2

      B and H I have a Nikon D5200 and am using PS Elements to process and convert files to JPG. Is it better to save as TFF file than JPG? and whats the difference? thank you :)

    • @BandH
      @BandH  10 років тому +1

      Shirley Prothero One format is not necessarily better than the other. Your choice will depend upon the end use. The TIFF format is typically used in publishing, engineering, and graphic art applications. It is important wherever bit-mapping is used for critical printing and viewing and is popular for archiving purposes as it stores images in a lossless compression format. One of the advantages over the JPEG file format is its ability to be edited and re-saved without losing image quality. The files that are created in TIFF are larger and will require additional memory however.

      There are many factors in earn cash with your camera. One plan I found which successfully combines these is the Hartlyn photo pro (check it out on google) it's the no.1 resource that I've heard of. look at all the extraordinary info .

    They are Medium Format cameras that have digital backs available for them. The sensors like 2 1/4 film is larger than 35mm film or a full frame sensor.
