Hi
New to photography, working hard to capture lovely images that are in focus and are of a decent composition. But I’m having a major confidence wobble. In a FB group I’m in, last night someone posted the most beautiful image, they also posted their original image. Well it totally floored me, the original image was absolutely nothing like the final version. The subject wasn’t even in sharp focus, yet the final version was. Background was totally different. Light was totally different. When did photography become all about editing, and not about the image you took?
Should I even bother trying to get a decent picture, when I can just photoshop the hell out of it? Why bother with learning about camera settings when you can edit the image? Do I now have to spend a fortune on a laptop (only have an iPad) and a monthly subscription to photoshop?
