Heh, all this talk about post processing.
<rant>
Seems all the time I have been on this list there have been
"grumpy old
farts" complaining about the young whippersnappers who don't do
"real"
photography. Or if not that, how photography isn't real
photography anymore.
Hmmm, when I started about on PDML about 7 years ago, it was
manual vs
automatic focus. You can guess which group wasn't doing it right.
Oh, and
primes vs zooms. Then there was a progression of tripods vs shake
reduction,
digital vs film, etc.
At the last NorCal Meet I saw people shooting their cameras with
live view
with grids and Godfrey talked to a couple of us about long/night
time
exposures being improved by noise reduction. And explained how it
works
(thanks, Godfrey, I didn't know).
I wasn't sure I had either, then I came home and checked. (I knew
I had
live view.) Yup, I can do a grid on live view (nifty, I love that,
I am
always crooked), and I do have noise reduction.
Seems to me the tools just keep getting better. There are always
downsides, but for me the upsides far out weight the downsides.

Semi-relevant to this photo. After frank told me my PS skills
hoovered, I
downloaded some Lightroom presets and replayed with my photo. It is
probably still too bland, not that well composed (it was a grab
shot), but this
comes much closer to what I was going for. I didn't just use a
preset and
leave it, I also fooled around in Lightroom development side bar.
I don't
think I've been giving LR enough of a chance.

This would have taken me hours on my own. I am a happy camper.
Comments, okay.
