Subject: PEF insurance
My best friend is in the midst of rearranging her home and contents
insurance. She has been advised to take detailed photos of everything she
is claiming. No problem. I enjoy doing pack shots like this.
I don't know why it hasn't occurred to me before but shooting in PEF seems
like a great way to ensure that you have an unimpeachable piece of
photographic evidence. Keep something in the shot that is unmistakably
yours and that is good evidence that you owned the object. You can do
anything with a TIFF or JPEG, but how would you alter a RAW file? And if
you tried, would there be tell-tale evidence that you did? Or am I being
naive in the ways of the hacker?
If there is that much value being insured that you have to ask, shoot
digital for convenience, and back it up with film for unimpeachability.
