The flame wars are what have led some of us in this zoo to try and refocus this group on digital photography and a very important part of that for those of us striving to reach beyond shooting snapshots, post processing. In the past for professionals and hobbyist photographers post processing in a wet darkroom was an integral part of photography. Today that wet darkroom is our computer and whatever software we choose to use. All photographs, your shooting philosophy not withstanding, in days past, and today would not exist without a degree of post processing. For example, beyond having an eye for capturing the scene at the right time, Ansel Adams’ work was perfected in his print processes in the darkroom. Taste varies, and some of the work posted here varies with the the skill & equipment of the photographer. Some of it can avoid post processing, but most can’t. Post processing is as much a part of photography as getting your exposure settings right, and as you have discovered, it is not always possible to “get it right in the camera”. So just because that is your particular photographic philosophy and taste, does not mean that others of us share that. So a shot such as this, beyond tripping the shutter after some thought to exposure, is all post processing. https://db.tt/zRhU3FQs -- Regards, Savageduck |

Big mistake to do that! My wife loves it and I took it for her not you. Why then share it for viewing, knowing it may be critiqued? Naa. With that one, Philo's just practicing for Halloween. His wife will understand. :^) Bob Yep , her name is Colleen and I call this photo Colloween.. BTW none of these images are anything I'd put in a show, just snapshots I did for my own fun But you still show it here, why? You have every right to post whatever you like on these ngs, of course you are, but I fail to see your motive for posing when these photos were either only taken for fun and only for your wifes benefit and yet you become defensive over the technical quality of said images. MC The reason I posted them was simply to show anyone interested what odd lighting effects can be obtained /without/ using Photoshop. Though I did not post them with the intent of them being critiqued... I fully realized that by posting them I would of course have to expect a few comments. |

The issue here is not Photoshop, nor any other image processing software. You claim to take care with preparation for your shots with regard to composition, and exposure, and have a demeaning tone when it comes to those of us who use post processing for whatever reason, yet none of the examples you have shown us demonstrate that any care was taken in preparation at all. Your “odd lighting effect” was not a deliberate action on your part. It was due to your lack of preparation in all aspects of taking those shots. As a spontaneous snapshot of the moment they are OK, but good, well thought out, and planned photographs they are not. They are a demonstration of the failure of your photographic philosophy. Trying to pass off the terrible lighting as some sort of deliberate in camera effect that you somehow planned, is a bit of a stretch. Though I did not post them with the intent of them being critiqued... I fully realized that by posting them I would of course have to expect a few comments. Yup! -- Regards, Savageduck |
