Thank you. I shot a stupid huge number of photos, because you can't really tell a lot of those things when the action is happening, then went through and sorted them down by a factor of 10, then the sensei sorted them down by a factor of 6 after that. So these basically represent a one in 60 keeper ratio. I suspect that I'm not getting better at taking pictures, just at throwing them away.
We had this discussion earlier, Larry. I am coming to think that whatever "rocks your boat" is fine. Presently, you have shown that you have mastered your own technique be it aikido or photography...
There's definitely as much art in processing the photos as in taking them. I tend not to favor photos that look overprocessed, so there's some trick to doing the processing in a way that doesn't look like any has been done at all. There's probably some correlation between processing a photo and a woman wearing makeup. Some people think that if it's obvious it looks trashy, and other people like that trashy look.
I agree with you. Adds yet another reason for me to insist that I am not a professional photog like a number of people around me keep claiming. I don't dwell too much in processing. Yet, like you I don't quite like over-processed photographs, with certain exceptions of course.
