Me parece muy original la idea de realizar este concurso de fotografía sobre la floración del Tajinaste. Me apasiona la fotografía, soy fotógrafa amateur, estuve trabajando dos años en Tenerife y uno de esos años si conseguí ver la floración del Tajinaste y recuerdo que me llamó mucho la atención.
Me gustaría presentarme al concurso pero tengo una duda, han hablado del formato RAW, ¿Qué ocurre si no se tiene dicho formato de ninguna foto?. No lo suelo sacar porque ocupa mucho espacio y como no suelo manipular las fotos por eso no lo tengo.
Gracias, por todo.
