If we analyze the problem as ballistics, any material that our moving object encounters specially when it breaks, takes energy away from the projectile and lessen impact velocity/penetration. Bulletproof glass are many layers of thin glass glued together. As each sheet breaks, it slows the bullet to the point it stops and the last sheets are not damaged.
UV filters will help with dirt and impacts. How much will depend on the circumstance. On the other hand, how much it affects the image will highly depend on the quality of the filter. A good quality UV filter should be negligible.

Pg. 17 - Great creativity on this series, Wallen! Nicely done.

Thanks a lot.
They each have their own challenges;
1.The moored boats were all bobbing up and down every time another boat passes by and it took i while to get a sharp image with a long exposure.
2.The Marina -camera was a point and shoot.
3. Cyclist under the bridge was the hardest to capture. no tripod, no flash, mixed light source, too much light contrast, capture movement in low light and no control of the subject (passersby). It was luck and technique in equal amounts.
Here are some more. Sunset under a bridge; Taken last December with a Huawei celphone, edited with PS

p.17 The lighting and composition of the last one is wonderful - the lines jnterrupted by soft arcs and bicycle wheels. Just love it.
Thanks.
It is one of my favorites as well because of how technical (and lucky with the passing cyclist) it was to get it right.

:-) I claim to be both- a scientist and an artist and many things else LOL.

Been trying, but it seems the world does not really want peace.
I propose the CODE (Communal Democracy) as a universal form of government, Iscariot as a way of life and Self rule without harm as the soul & core of existence.
Anybody interested please contact me for details :-)

Hmmm, i believe that would be Jesus, because even Adolf's moves was connected with the guy.
But if Adam and Eve was real, the person we should blame for all the problems in the world is a woman :-)

Not for me it though. I'm pretty much an oddball when it come to beliefs and point of views. I tend to see things as spheres instead of coins.

My take is that generally, good or bad is just a preferential point of view. Innovation is always a step up but people tend to view or fooled to view commercialism as innovation.

You have me confused here. Consumerism is the protection or promotion of the interests of consumers.

Are we confusing "ART" with taste. That is another subject
That is the truth. Very few understand what art is but everybody is a critique/opinionated.
Even some of those who trained are more concerned with their own taste than what art really is. Such as calling a light-bulb that goes on and off in an empty room or a peeing statue art. Worse, they believe and push it as high art and is the future of artistic endeavors.

You must be a young one. Most of us older folk would remember sitting through interminable slide shows from our neighbors vacations. There was another way to show pictures that did not include printing.
Yes, and we have been adept at reading negatives too, choosing which ones to print from there :-)

Indeed. Since you can't print a RAW, or even view it for that matter, what are you using to convert and view the RAW vs the jpg?
I use Photoshop to go straight to editing because i have little free time and edit only photos i find interesting. I revert to the native brands software if its not possible to open the files directly with PS.
This fit me because I shoot RAW only if i'm getting paid.
For my own use, i have allocated one button on my camera to shoot Jpeg+RAW so i have an instant option if i want to because generally, i shoot with my own picture control settings directly to Jpeg.

Larry - I find this comment of yours bothersome: ... (show quote)
:-) RAW is how the camera saw the image and saved it. But we can not see raw files. we need to interpret those files to something in the monitor for us to see. That process of interpretation is what some judge as "manipulation". The difference is, that interpretation is subjective and only temporary. Done for the sole purpose of enabling us to view the digital data.
Different soft wares and settings can change how that interpretation will appear even without our intent or control.
On the other hand, JPG or other file images are the saved interpretations. Many of the data still available in the RAW file would be lost when we save the interpreted images. That is why these file sizes are smaller in comparison.
Thus it is indeed true that the raw files are unchanged and not affected by settings, it is also true that whatever you see is affected as it is already an interpreted data.
On the other hand, intentional editing and modification is the crux of manipulation and is totally another matter.

Sure they do LOL. The truth is that a lot of people think themselves are artist but in reality, they are just b*llsh*tting to benefit themselves.

Critique is one of those where little knowledge becomes really dangerous, most specially when spoken by prominent figures of society.

Actually my comment was a general overview. Specifics will happen only if i know exactly what you are doing and what software you are using. Perhaps you can give a little more detail?

JPGs discard only what they don't need. RAW data needs to be converted to a JPG or TIFF etc before printing, either by the computer or by the latest printers themselves. ALL digital photographs benefit from (some) PP sharpening, before viewing or printing. This is down to the camera sensor not the lens. Your problem is not RAW v JPG. 
It depend on the compression ratio. If too low, then JPEG artifacts will happen even on the first get go. As for printers, it may be printing with the nozzles not calibrated to their sharpest position. low quality materials both ink and paper can mess things too. The person seeking answers says the raw files were satisfactory but loosing sharpness when printed. I do not believe this is a sensor nor a lens issue.
But you got me thinking with PP sharpening. Over sharpening images can actually do the opposite.

Its just Expression vs Information. SOOC would be information, good for News, Family snap shots etc.
SOOC can be Expressions too but those are rare on-of-a-kinds shots.
Doing post is Expression (artistic or otherwise) where sky is the limit.
Some pictures need to be As-is, some images are better if polished on post.
