No.. No you wouldn't. Not if he did "that" again. ;)

lets hope, we desperately need his style back here.

the guy is my idol.

Heck, honestly, any shot he'd enter would be fine, I like pretty girls too, but a cheeseman classic on bread would be awesome.

Previsualizing the finished result...I feel like I have never understood that concept. Does everyone do that but me? Does that mean that when you leave the house with your camera & associated gear you already know, & can see in your mind, what your photograph is going to look like? And you can reliably get exactly what you previsualize?


With me it's more making me shot look like what I see. :)

When I take a picture of a backlit bird or squirrel, I know that I'm going to overexpose to expose for the animal, but that I'm going to process it for both the background and the animal to bring them back together. I know what I want my final picture to look like, and I set my settings to a point that I know that I can get those results from my RAW file. My eye can process the animal in the shadows and see the gorgeous colors in the background, but if I shoot it, one is either severely underexposed or overexposed and I need to fix it.

(I have the problem that in the winter, my deck railing is completely in shade and the yard is in sun. It's a nasty shooting situation. I'm starting to add flash, but the animals aren't real crazy about it.)


Try hot lights - a tightly focused beam like a spotlight would easily make them bright enough without startling the snot outta them.


the point is why? when the alternative works just fine.


what point is any photography, why not just use photoshop or a 3D computer generated imaging software to create your images, with that kind of forethought your idea and previsualization lends itself to this idea that perfection is about PP and cant be acheived or look as good by pre-setting up your shot and doing it there, rather than creating perfection which only exists in marketing world not the real world. and this is one of the key things that all this discussion is about the idea that somehow even with your great camera, you cannot control it or get enough out of it to get to this ridiculous ideal of what is a good photo, lolal... utter ridiculous! no wonder new people get frustrated and dont know how to photograph with these kind of so called perfect photos... some of the greatest photographers in the world thus far have pre-visualized great images and got them without the kind of PP your talking about! im sorry but that is maybe where your going wrong what somehow you cannot pre-visulaize what is real and what is good but what you believe in the marketing world of what is real and good... we do photos because we enjoy the process of photography not the process of post processing... or anything in between..its about you at the edge of any situation trying to capture the image, not about how perfect you can make something...
