About Raw Society, I got their magazine/book a few weeks ago. It was a great surprse because I pre-ordered it some time ago. I already followed them om YT and when they announced it, I just had to have it. Love it. The project is really good.
I joined the RAW society last year and have been working through the material they offer, bit by bit, since then. I was not aware of the awesome book you presented. I need to get this asap. Thank you for your eye opening and inspiring content!
Thank you for sharing the RAW Society. Now I follow all their social media accounts. Jared Polin was the only Raw reference I knew of online before this.
Beyond the sum of its content: I experience your post videos like little "Stargates" or, more accurate "Photographer Gates" which dial me not only to the photos but to the person. With that I don't mean the "inclusion of biographical snippets", it is rather the way you share your experience of the work, and your personal interaction with the people. It makes it very vivid! Whatever you may want to change in the future, please never give up this! It is precious!
The color blindness bit hits home as I struggle with something similar. It makes being a photographer extraordinarily difficult in some cases, especially with editing. I often have to run my edits by someone to make sure the colors actually make sense. As a result I find myself shooting a lot of monochrome so that I'm not worried about exposing colors correctly. It can be disheartening but I guess it gives me another challenge I need to work through.
I’m also colorblind, and I’ve tried color editing, as you….I now only shoot jpeg and try to get the best colors out of the camera….raw isn’t important to me as long as I’m happy with my image quality….nobody is gonna know the difference, and nobody cares if the image is jpeg or raw, as long as it’s a good image
@@scotthansenmtbt4110 I also shoot a lot of JPEG if I'm using color, which inevitably drew me towards Fujifilm as their colors in the film simulations look great from what I can see. Especially enjoy their Acros ones
@@DCAMM720 I would be looking at Fuji if I wasn’t shooting LUMIX….I LOVE the “Fuji” look….kinda has a 35mm look more than a digital look….the thing about LUMIX is the whole package….price, menu, variety, lens selection, features etc…..it’s what works for me now….I also love the Fuji B&W, but feel the same with LUMIX….I like shooting winter shadows in color, but I think next winter I’m gonna try shadows in B&W….
I have a form of red/green colour blindness. I shoot JPEG with a Canon 6D. The colour saturation levels (only one or two settings from neutral in each case) for each Picture Style have been approved by relatives with "normal" colour vision. The Canon 6D has, (I'm told!), great colour balance and rendition out of the JPEG box, so no need to worry about post-processing the colours. I'm happy with this, because I don't enjoy much post-processing anyway, and it's still possible to slightly post-process JPEGs in Apple Photos for exposure correction etc. Approximately 1 in 12 of the male adult population worldwide has some form of colour blindness, so that must include a great number of photographers, both professional and amateur! Colour blindness is a much more rare phenomenon in the female population.
Hi Ted, guys. Apologies for posting this here but don’t know what else to do. I watched a Ted video a couple of years ago, no idea how old it was. You showed an image of -if I remember correctly- some ivy. It was taken with either a large or medium format camera. You were illustrating the incredible detail and tonal range that can be captured with the camera in question. It was a dark, monochrome image and almost had the feel of an incredibly detailed pencil drawing. I can’t find the video and can’t remember the rest of the content. While rewatching all your videos is on my bucket list, it is driving me mad that I can’t find it. Can anyone help.
I have mild deuteranopia, typically what it adds up to is if you have two colors on a poster, I can tell you which color is which, but I cannot find the line between them without squinting a bit. My wife once asked if that had any impact on my preference for black and white photography. Valid question, but I don't think it did.
Thanks for turning me on to the Raw Society. I went to the website and tried to purchase the magazine, but I couldn't complete the transaction. I don't know if the problem is on my end or theirs. I tried sending an email to the contact provided, but it came back undeliverable. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how I can purchase the magazine? Thanks!
Hi, I had trouble but it finally worked. Maybe you ran into the same problem. Select magazine, then in the next drop-down below you have to select the only other option that looks like a few dots or something. Then it proceeded to show the cost and I was able to continue with the order to completion. Hope this helps.
What do you think of PDF ebook versions? I've done a number of these, post them for free, and get a large number downloaded. they are optimized for iPad and Kindle. Bound versions, except for one, get maybe four printed (expensive). Besides being handy, easy to distribute, the images look their best.
I'm color blind but i'm not a control freak. So I always hire a professional to do color correction. I can make more money shooting photos than I can doing scut work. YMMV.
Some people make the world bigger. Guess who I have in mind. By the way, I would like to buy your business. It's pretty much name-your-price. Just mention the date of the message.
