Errors in Photography
- Shooting in JPEG: There are no rules that say that you must shoot on RAW, but there are a few advantages to shooting on RAW. When you shoot in JPEG, your camera automatically applies presets for white balance, sharpening, saturation, and contrast. It also compresses your image into a smaller file While RAW on the other hand preserves the image and allows more details to be seen from the highlight. Shooting in RAW yields more high-quality pictures.
- Using Wrong White Balance: Most young photographers don’t understand the importance of white balance and its function. Using a wrong white balance can affect the quality of your picture.
