How many of you shoot in Raw? [View all]

Later on in the spring, my husband and I are going on a little road trip to Arizona. We are going to see Antelope Canyon and the big meteorite crater.

I really want to get some truly superb images of the canyon (the sandstone ones that have been carved out by the rain) and since I've heard of shooting in raw, I thought I might try to do that, now, while I have time to practice.

Any advice?

I just read an article that I found by googling, by Christina Greve. It looks straight-forward.
