But that should not make you alienate all those who openly admit that after the click the work on the photo only just begins. For a photo is NOT a photo through the click alone, no matter how well you did set your camera. In the end, it is YOUR way of processing your picture that will make it YOURS.
I am certainly not alienating those who openly admit that after the click the work on the photo only just begins... In fact, I've full acknowledged my respect for those that do....
I would also submit that people should not alineate those who openly admit that their current focus is on in camera work while ignoring off camera work. In the few short months I have been here, I have seen dozens of people post pictures of what I would consider garbage shots, and then ask 'what can I do to make this picture better'... then see just as many people take the time out of their day to post process the garbage into more garbage. In a "beginners" forum, I don't see how 'post processing' should even be in the vocabulary. It would be like handing a scalpal to a premed student and having him do a vasectomy.... Yes surgery is apart of being a doctor... but why would you start out doing it... .Just like post processing, whether in camera or out, certainly has its place.... for many reading this shouldn't even be thought about.
