Nick Padaleki Los Angeles, California.
I am an auto mechanic based in Los Angeles, California. Born and raised in Los Angeles, I have been working with cars since childhood. My father was also an auto mechanic, so he was introduced to the world of cars early. At the age of 18, I entered a car school and began to learn the basics of car repair and maintenance. After graduation, I started working as an apprentice at a local auto shop in Los Angeles. My ambitious attitude and hard work quickly earned him the respect of his peers, and soon

I became the chief mechanic of the shop. As word of my skills spread, various car dealerships approached me to be their exclusive mechanic.

Remember that if you shoot only in jpg, the effects must be turned off. You will not be able to correct them later during processing. At the same time, if you photograph in raw + jpg, you can turn on any filter, be it sepia or black and white film from the era of Helmut Newton. In Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, you can return your raw color to its original color in one second or change the effect to a completely different one. And add a preset. For example, VSCO or any other.
Think of a JPG as a printed photograph from the era of film cameras. The maximum that you can do with it is barbarically draw mustaches on happy faces with a marker. RAW is negative. It allows you to adjust the color, contrast, brightness, shadows without losing image quality. With this format, you can save even a completely hopeless shot. The only nuance, and you will soon get used to the fact that in photography there is not a single step without nuances, is that the RAW format is very heavy. Approximately one megapixel in your camera is equal to one megabyte in a raw format file.
Taking the first steps in a new occupation, whether it be work or a hobby, each person will certainly encounter difficulties. It seems that you are doing everything as it should, but the result is still not the one you expect. And at such moments, you often want to quit everything and be very, very sad ... The main problem of a beginner in anything is the lack of knowledge or the necessary information. And then everyone decides for himself what to do: learn from his own mistakes or take the advice of those who have been “in business” for a long time - they have already filled their bumps and know how to act in certain situations.
