Thanks, Don. Yes, I've heard that as well about sports photogs... I'm guessing they usually have tons of photos to weed through, and in a short amount of time, so jpegs make sense.
I'd also guess there's a certain amount of confidence that's required for shooting jpegs as a pro. I had a well-regarded instructor at New England School of Photography who did weddings & events occasionally... and he always shot jpegs, and would download the images onto a cd for the client before he left. I imagine that most wedding photogs would be loath to do business that way, for several reasons, but he was just that confident in his ability to get it right "in camera"... Ah well, it won't be long 'til baseball season... it was 60 degrees in Boston this Feb 1...! :) -c On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 4:07 PM, Don Guthrie <[email protected]> wrote: > Christine.
