This is a before and after post edit of the Sandhill Crane, I posted a day or two ago.

Normally I just adjust the contract saturation and sharpness a little and throw them up here.

This is an example of what it looks like if I choose it to be printed and do a little fiddling.

Very good,I have some friends that are in to photography that believes the Communist jpeg bullspit is gospel and post processing/editing is the devils work..Ignorance abounds..With that said..

[B-flat]

I quote FroKnowsPhoto aka Jared Polin "I SHOOT RAW"

Nice work by both photographers.

Well, whatever floats their boat

I do studies at times where I do not do any editing. It is to challenge myself, to see how close I can come to creating a photo out of the camera that matches my vision for the photo.

I would be interesting to hear what they feel about in-camera sharpening, in-camera vibrant, in-camera B&W. All of which are Post Processing, it is just done by the camera's computer instead of my desktop.

With film, you had to post-process, it was called developing. And ask them if they ever heard of Ansel Adams. His legend is his ability to post-process B&W as no one had before.

Anyway, whatever floats their boar.

Ansel could and did spend weeks on one photo..No Poop!

Wow, larbud, can you explain a little farther "Communist jpeg bullspit, please?


does that mean your friends don't believe in editing?


What does jpeg have to do with communism. It sounds like there's something esoteric to the term I may not know about.


At the end of it all, are you're applauding Grumpy's editing (as am I)?

Yup, dodging, and burning were actual work, not clicks - LOL

I don't know. This doesn't look like an amateur to me. And that's fine.

I am an amateur in that I do not make money doing photography. I have been an amateur most of my life.

About 20 years ago I tried wedding photography for a few years and loved it, but found it too much like work - LOL

Ditto. I like all pictures for different reasons. It would depend on what I was looking for.
