Ok guys, I will attempt to attach the jpeg shots. For some reason I thought the group preferred raws ??? Hey not to bad for my very first post.
I really wanted to share a wonderful experience based on our history.
See how these look please and let me know if they are Ok,
Bruce.

The first is a jpeg, then you went back to nef.

You have an hour to edit this topic and replace the nef's; no need to start a third topic. As for the "group preferring raw," I think you are referring to what is often suggested for shooting, not posting. As you can see, raw files do not generate a thumbnail image and many people can't view them on their devices.

Linda;
It is so good to hear from you. I read your replies and truly admire your knowledge and well spoken words. I really respect you and the others offering me your knowledge and experience. I am honored.
Yes the first one is a jpeg shot with my phone or the old Nikon point'n shooter Coolpix L310. My son gave me this one, he found it on the road which apparently fell out of a car. The zoom does not most of the time but I use it for the video feature. Yea this should bring some laughs from the group ya think ?
The picture of me and the owner was shot with my phone. I just handed it some guy standing there and said 'hey take our picture'. Thank you.
I just posted the jpegs and I will open another post and display the rest of the photos.
Now I shot a couple of hundred at least on Friday and Sunday at the air show. Some aint bad at all.
Thank you Linda, your reaching out to me is truly respected.

We like to shoot RAW, but can only post JPEGs (like most things online). So it's necessary to convert RAW to JPEG (i.e., post-process) our images before posting them.

RAW can't be posted since they are too big and each camera maker has their own, proprietary type and we don't all have all the software needed to view them. For example, if you are shooting NEF, I know you're using a Nikon, since that's their proprietary RAW file type. Folks who use Canon or Pentax or Sony or whatever will have software relevant to their own cameras, but not yours.

JPEGs, on the other hand, are smaller in size and pretty much universally viewable. Virtually every computer made the past 20 years has built in means to view them.

The reason a lot of people shoot RAW is for greater control over the finished image and more latitude for adjustment when it's needed. Part of the reason is that a RAW file is 12, 14 or 16 bit color. (Post-processing software interpolates all of them as 16 bit). In comparison, a JPEG is 8 bit. An 8 bit file potentially has around 17 million individual color possibilities, when add up all the color changels. That's more than enough for display because the human eye can discern about 16 million. 17 million sounds like an awful lot, until you consider that 16 bit color has 23 trillion possible colors! Working with a file with far more colors makes for better adjustments... but they then need to be reduced to 8 bit for display (to conserve space online and not bog down everyone's Internet connection unnecessarily!)

Very good break down of the file details. Thank you.
