RAW vs JPEG- Which Should I Shoot? And Why Does It Matter?
The human eye is around 1000 times more adaptable to light than a modern camera sensor. So we can see into dark shadows (once our eyes adjust) and bright sunsets or sunrises. This is what means that a camera will struggle to capture details in anything silhoutted by the sun, or details in the sky if you expose correctly for a subject framed by the sky.
Want to know the ins-and-outs about how to take the best possible images using your camera; or maybe you want to just learn how to edit your images? Make sure to read this knowledge-filled post by @damnthatbanana; it has so great suggestions and advice.

The Frugal Feast- Orange Broccoli Beef: A Stir Fry Divine
Stir Fry is one of the fastest meals on Earth! And easiest, too! To say nothing of it being economical! The meat, being super thinly sliced, gives the feeling that you're eating more than you really are...and that meal $$ stretches! The serving in the pictures is about 3 oz. of meat. A go with of rice, simple steamed or fried, is quite inexpensive, as well
Looking for a delicious, economical and easy dinner for tonight? Well, @mamajeani has a great stir fry recipe to fill your belly and not gobble up your pocketbook. Take a look at this simple recipe and maybe you can whip it up this weekend!

Have You Ever Been Beaten Over The Head With A Tobacco Leaf?
While wandering through central Cuenca, Ecuador, I came across Plaza Rotary at the corner of Gaspar Sangurima and Vargas Machuca. There I met the woman pictured above. She was part of a group of healers who met each Friday performing “limpias” for a small price... A "limpia" is a spiritual cleansing ritual thought to cleanse the body, emotions, mind, and soul removing any negative energies or thoughts
@liquidtravel decided to go through with a limpia, but has some advice for you if you decide to do it too.
Be prepared to have the shaman spit alcohol in your face, put ashes on your forehead and back, and beat you over the head with tobacco leaves
Really? What do you think about that?

Steemauto Curation Trail
We suggest not following the trail with 100%, steemauto has 2 ways of following a trail, static or scaled. We suggest using SCALED instead of static since static votes can add up quickly and drain VP very fast. We suggest using scaled and then maybe around 25%.
Steemauto can show us who is currently on the trail and at what percentage. Looking forward to see more Qurites joining the trail in the near future! We also reward the team players and there might be a nice surprize for a lucky trailer. =P
