Why RAW?

[catchlights]

talk about Nat Geo assignment, I remember many years back, read an article about Nat Geo photographer, bring back a few shoe boxes of 35mm slides, that is only just for one article...

anyway, I would not considering this as machine-gunning too, cos all the images are usable, not anyhow shoot.

Hmmmm... I just did an estimate. I believe the plastic boxes Kodak used to pack thin Kodachrome 24x36 cardboard-mounted slides make for a quite efficient packing of slides, where 1 box = 36 slides. Taking such a box (just found one last weekend while cleaning up) and comparing it to a shoebox, I estimate about 1200 slides per shoebox. (Admittely there are bigger shoeboxes.) This would translate to almost one shoebox of slides per wedding. I wonder how many shoeboxes per day did the Nat Geo photographer fill?

Anyway, no offence. It seems we just have different frames of reference.
