Size????

[lecherro]

When you shoot a wedding, What Size photo do yo shoot. Is it needed to shot the largest frame possible?

I shoot in the highest quality possible, RAW. The only reason not to is card space, and cards are cheap.

If you're doing something as important as a wedding it makes sense to shoot in the highest quality format.... if you can't afford the CF cards to give you enough room to do that then you may want to either be more selective about which photos you take or wait until you can afford it to do weddings.

RAW only for weddings. I wouldn't even consider shooting jpegs.

A little essay on "RAW"
Would you want your wedding photographer to have the negatives to work off of? Or just drop the film off at CVS and have you pick up your 4x6 prints?

First off, your camera ONLY shoots RAW. When you select JPG, the camera takes the RAW data and pipes it into it's on-board JPG processor to generate the JPG "image" to save to the card.

When you shoot RAW, the RAW "data" goes directly to the card and is not an image.

To generate an image, you use a RAW processor (software on your PC) which turns the data into a viewable image, much like the camera's JPG processor. The difference is that YOU have complete control over the image generation process. You can change the white balance, adjust the contrast/brightness/black point/etc....

So you can leave these decisions up to the camera's little processor (and hope it makes the right decisions since they are irreversible), or save the decisions for later where YOU have complete control over it.

Think of film, do you want to just drop the roll off at the pharmacy and get a bunch of 4x6 prints back (and NO negatives)? Or do you want the negatives?
