Trying RAW instead of JPG

I decided to try out RAW format instead of Jpeg format with my camera.  I was convinced a little more at the Nikon School I attended to venture into the RAW world. For sure much bigger size file, now I know why people say you need big SD Cards.  Here are a couple of photos and not much to editing.  I cropped, a little sharping and that was it.  So far I just have to learn the NX software a little better.

One of our last iris' of the season.  They are almost all gone.

Dog Vomit Fungus.... yes I said Dog Vomit, that is the real name.
