Ok, this tip comes after I have been noticing many people using the ".gif" format for their digital images they post to the internet. What is wrong with using ".gif" format? Absolutely nothing... if you are posting art without many gradients such as logos and etc. or if you are creating an avatar for your favorite forum or just need a quick and simple animated graphic. If you are using ".gif" format for your photos that are posted to the net... you should be slapped though. Seriously.... a good whack to your head is called for. Let me explain why.

Photography Tip #2: Got RAW? Shoot RAW! E-mail

Many people have become complacent with shooting .jpg images with their camera which is fine. After all, this is the format that is widely found in most cameras whether they are of the cheaper point-and-shoot variety or the more expensive and larger DSLR's. Jpg's are also the common format we see sent over email and on the web so it makes sense that many people rely just on this format.

However, if your camera has the ability to shoot RAW and you have a program on your computer to correct and use RAW images, then I highly suggest you take advantage of the power of RAW photos. RAW is normally a 16-bit format which means it has more color information than what is available on jpg's which are only 8-bit in nature.

I know many people are happy to share their photos on the internet just as I am. Its nice to get oooh's and ahhh's and sometimes the constructive criticism but its not nice to learn one of your images was stolen and used without your consent, or at least its not something I enjoy. I have met people though that could care less if someone were to steal their images without any credit in return but I think that a majority of people who spend lots of time and money on their creative hobbies like to be compensated or at least credited for their efforts if someone were to use their work.
