The March 8 meeting of the Coastal Carolina Camera Club will feature a workshop on shooting in RAW format, which provides greater post processing control of images than the JPEG format.

Additionally, the workshop will cover the use of High Dynamic Range Imaging (HDR), a process that more accurately captures the various levels of highlights and shadows in what is photographed.
