I shoot at least 300 exposures for each 7-room virtual reality tour I
do. I frequently do two a day, and quite often shoot 800 frames. I
shoot jpegs after setting color temperature and exposure very
carefully. For each tour, I upload 210 shots to the client's web site
-- three bracketed exposures for each shot. I rarely do any tweaks at
all, and I usually can deliver the finished job within an hour or so
after arriving home. The only time I've tweaked shots is when I've
missed the color temperature on a room with multiple light sources. In
that case, I open all 30 shots for that room, create a PhotoShop
action that adjusts color balance (or photo filter), saves and closes
each shot. The computer will do the thirty shots in a few minutes.
Trust me, there ain't no art involved:-)).
I can't imagine shooting the VTs on film. And if I were doing what
you're doing, I think I'd approach it the same way: Digital jpegs,
carefully exposed.
For everything else, I shoot RAW. But for labor intensive, multi-shot
work stuff, jpeg is a lifesaver.

I do get your point , Paul.
But I do not do artistic photography. I may do 800 aerial
photographs (exposures) in just one hour. In my opinion, noone
appriciates all the computerwork enough, to justify the many hours
(dollars worth)of editing, needed for finishing the job. It would be
very tempting for me just to deliver the (many) film rolls to the
lab, look the prints through and then give the client the best 10%
for scanning.

Hello
Sometimes I want the film-days back. Imagine how easy it is to shoot
some film and have a good lab develop the prints. The lab will
darken the too bright images, correct colors and brighten the to
dark images. Then you choose the 10 % best and send them for
scanning. Then you give the CD to your client.
No more long hours at the computer converting or editing all your
RAW files, tagging them, filing them, changing hard drives etc. for
your images. Just give the client the prints and the CD. Get paid.
End of story!
Those where the days, ehh?
Um, no. I never found a lab that could print a negative the way I saw
it. Even the best labs relied on their vision of what a shot should
be, not mine. That's why I shot a lot of BW and risked poisoning my
system with chemicals, day after day, for hours on end.
And scanning? Unless I paid top dollar for drum scans at the pro lab,
the results were crap. I had to scan myself and couldn't really
afford
the best equipment, particularly for medium format.
Those were not the days.
