This is a dilemma for many a photographer: shoot JPG, which don’t need any processing, or RAW, which provides you more opportunity to enhance the image in the computer?

Yet another great timelapse project, this time in Yosemite NP.
Last month I posted a photo of the International Space Station flying over Jasper National Park. Here is the view from the other side: North and South America from the ISS. The flyover starts over the Pacific NW of Vancouver Island, continues over the western US, down to Mexico, and on to South America. It ends with sunrise over the Antarctic.
Yet another great timelapse video, this time from Iceland.
This one-hour exposure captures the International Space Station as a bright dotted line among the curved star trails over of Patricia Lake in Jasper National Park. Composite of 490 images, at 10mm, 6sec, f3.5, captured at 4sec intervals. A car’s headlights light up the forest across the lake.
This TED talk features George Steinmetz’s stunning aerial photography over Africa. George is a great photographer; his aerial photos are second to none.
Another cool timelapse video, showing the contrast between cities and nature.
David Griffin, Director of Photography at National Geographic, gave a great talk at TED about how photography connects us, and the stories that the best photos tell.
