Yeah, like sawing-off an annoying tree limb which interfered with the desired composition ... |
Doing so while sitting on it? |

I believe everyone starts with that title... However, I hardly see you in that category... You are in more likely "Masters" category now..
We always forget something... There are no new ideas in photography... there are better copies of old ones...
and I don't feel bad about it. Compare to, every food I eat from a very good chef is an imitation of another with some more "new personality" added :) |

there is a really good dvd instructional on flash photography, and while i enjoy using PS i do like to keep the instructors advice in mind:
"If you ever catch yourself saying 'I'll just fix it in Photoshop', stop what you're doing and slap yourself accross the face as hard as you can"
He was not against it but as the point was made earlier, try to get it as good as possible in camera. |

In your case he probably was talking about exposure and white balance, basically camera/light settings. It is the first step to become a great photographer.
Watch your "Settings, angle, fit" right before shoot. |

I,m lazy. Like water or electricity, I take the path of least resistance.
Some things are a royal pain to "fix" in post. I know when I'm setting up a shot how certain elements wwill ,handle, in ps.
Some things are simply easier to deal with in post. I'm not likely to rearrange my lighting to deal with one zit.
In the end, I must create a final image that my client finds attractive. Whatever tool I use, I'm still being paid as a photographer.
Most like their photos straight out of the camera. They love them after a round of PS. Call it what ya will, but very few working photographers can survive without the computerized enhancements.
It,s fine with me either way, darkroom chemicals are expensive, time consuming, and stinky. I,m much happier playing on the net alongside my modern workflow. Too much time in the dark gets depressing. |
