DIGITAL CAMERA PHOTOS

 Olympus Camedia C-5050 Zoom (5MP)

Below are some digital images taken with the marco and super macro facility on the Olympus C-5050 zoom camera. All the photos were taken using auto focus, film speed ASA 64 and saved as high quality tiffs which produce 14.5 MB files.

The original raw (see below) photographs have been cropped and saved as top quality jpgs in order to make the file size managable, whilst still retaining most of the data. Clicking on the thumb will take you to a larger jpg comp. These may take sometime to load if you are using a 56k modem as the files are between 300-600K.The images are shown at 100% (or 1:1).

Super Macro: Brooch

WHAT IS RAW?
Raw is a file format that is used by Digital cameras.
The Raw format is, in effect a digital 'negative'. Photos taken in Raw format cannot be immediately viewed on your computer or edited in Photoshop until it’s been 'processed'. To view and convert your Raw files you will need a free Photoshop raw plugin. (Other imaging software has similar filters available)

So why use Raw in the first place?
Raw provides the ultimate control over your digital photos, allowing you to tweak the settings to produce the exact photo you desire. For example, people who shoot Raw can set the white balance before they start taking pictures and thereby avoiding hard-to-correct colorcasts. Plus, since most camera raw files are 12-bit, instead of 8-bit jpgs, photographers have greater flexibility when correcting exposure errors and making changes to the overall look of their photo. Raw also provides the highest quality images whilst keep the original photo in an uncompressed format - such as jpeg.
