My wife and I have just returned from a cruise to Alaska, where we
both took a lot of photos. On this trip we shot all raw, I found to
my delight that it was almost impossible to over expose an image
when shooting raw.

Here are two photos that were saved because I was shooting raw, both
would have been way over exposed if I was shooting jpeg.

If obtaining correct exposure is the only reason you capture RAW, you
really do need to learn more about the subject.

Exposure correction (shadow detail and highlight capture) is a HUGE aspect
of why RAW is so powerful.
The only other MAJOR factors are white balance and non-compression factors.

What other biggie would you have him obsess over, Doug?
