I seldom shoot in RAW for a number of reasons. First, I don’t have a high-capacity memory card. The only one I got is a 256MB CF card, so I can only store a limited number of shots, at most 30.

Secondly, it takes a long time to write a RAW image on the card. For a resolution of 3072 x 2305, it takes about 10 second to write. It’s one of the many setbacks of using a point-and-shoot camera. Which is a pity because RAW images really are a stunner.

This is a macro photography blog where I discuss macro photography from the point of view of a point and shoot camera owner. However, each weekend, starting this week, I shall be posting non-macro pictures, also taken with a point-and-shoot camera.

I call this series “When Not Shooting Macro, …” This week, the subject is “I Shoot The Sky”. Enjoy!
