I really enjoyed a series of blogs featuring shots from Cambodia by Mimo Khair…(The address is at the foot of the page)… So I decided to have a look back at some of the ‘people’ shots that I took on my last trip there.
I usually shoot in RAW but we were travelling for a month by motorbike so storage was a major issue..Consequently all of the shots I took were jpegs and I’ve kicked myself ever since….Why Oh Why Oh Why didn’t I just buy a handful of extra sd cards….Jpegs really are the pits!!
Still, no good crying over spilt pixels…..
Even in jpeg format these shots evoke amazing memories of a beautiful country and its incredible people…I hope you like them.

The ashy grey sets up a mood; introspective.

Those sorts of tones were a bit of a change for me, but they were, to a large extent, a product of how the country made me feel…..

Can you elaborate? How did Cambodia make you feel?

Introspective….Thats why your comment was so pertinent..

once you go raw, you’ll never want the camera to cook up the jpegs for you ever again. so agreed 🙂

Leave those pixels crunchy…….

fantastic Stuart! I think the quality of pixels us so secondary to the content. And you captured so much of the magic of life in Cambodia. I can’t wait to see more

Hey Mimo…I’m REALLY glad you like some of these….The quality issue is only really an issue if you need to print so you’re absolutely right..’Content is King’…
I miss the control that raw gives in processing, but I am enjoying having a closer look at these shots…

Great, great shots Stuart.. such faces …ahhh .. I only shoot in RAW now too but jeepers they take up a hell of a lot of room and of course take way longer to process.. well they do if you’re indecisive like me !

I hate computer gear even more than I hate camera gear but seperate hard drives for raw files are manna from heaven……Safe and cheap…
Luckily I’m NEVER indecisive..At least I don’t think I am…Not often anyway….Maybe sometimes…I’m not sure…????????

after my scare when I thought my computer had died.. I have pretty much everything double backed up… but I’m not naturally organised sadly…
