SOOC

I suppose I like this thread because 90% of my photos are SOOC
The fountain was dyed blue for the Blues playoff series

Hey that's my home town! The statue in the fountain is W. Zorach's The Runner. When the Cardinals play they dye the fountain red.

Hope you don't mind but here's some suggestions to improve on that SOOC thing.

I enjoy that downtown area during game times. I used to live in Soulard for a short time. I was staying right there at the Hyatt this time around.

Nice edit on the photo, although, I thought the point of this SOOC thread is that these photos are un-edited, straight out of the camera. Thanks for the comment, though, I knew it needed some adjustments.

I live in the city on The Hill, not too far from Soulard where I do some occasional shopping.

Sorry about the SOOC thing but the photo needed the edit and there I was with this personal connection. Besides I don't put much stock in the SOOC business. If you define edit as making an optional adjustment to the photo after it's captured (fair definition) then all digital photos are edited. If you don't define edit as above then how do you define it? So SOOC means straight out of the camera but that doesn't mean unedited, so why is it special?

But don't let me spoil the fun and fantasy; carry on.

You really can't let people have there own fun can you?

You look and think far too deeply into things. It simply means out-of-camera jpegs. That's it. Like literally. Nothing special.

BTW, I've never stated that an SOOC image is unedited. Every digital image ever taken, by a digital camera, has been processed Either by the camera or outside software.

So please, either join the thread constructively or move on.

Thats a gorgeous bird.I have to say the SOOC shots,Most Camera's these days do a real good job.Might need a little tweaking here and there but generally there darn good.

Some old-timers do quite well, too: both my pelican image and the one of the white bird (more to that in the link) were taken with a camera produced way back in 2002.

No, you didn't, but the person I was responding to did. And that's because that is the general understanding of that term.

Every digital image ever taken, by a digital camera, has been processed Either by the camera or outside software.

So please, either join the thread constructively or move on.

And I did say don't let me spoil it and carry on.

For me, SOOC doesn't necessarily mean unedited (though this is something of a moot point), it's more about good old camera skills and not relying too much on something like Photoshop or similar. By trying to get the best SOOC shot that you can you will be learning more and more about light/lighting and camera settings whilst also having fun - far more, I think, than you ever could sat indoors post processing.

So I have been making some custom picture settings in Nikon Picture Control. Here is one with a custom black and white.
