C’mon! It’s not what you see or what the camera sees.
IT’s how you respond to what you see and how you able to share that response, that experience.

Question:
Are all of your "in camera sliders" set to neutral or "best image tweaking"?

I feel there are two views on photos. Those that are purist, I'm one, that believe the picture is taken when the shutter is clicked. I have my exposure and composition the way I want it before I click the shutter. Beyond dodging and burning, I'm done. Then there are those that the camera is just an artistic tool, and the manipulation of the image is part of the art. I've seen images from both schools that I've liked, but for me photography is capturing the moment and the art is God's.

Distorting the truth is my pet peeve. An example would be baiting raptors with pet shop mice, to get the shot.
SOCO is what that camera brands engineers decide what your picture should look like. Why not shoot RAW and processs the picture as your eye saw it? The nose in the air ‘no filter crowd’ are really saying they like the ‘filters’ their camera makers engineers chose as opposed to making their own choices.
A SOCO pic is most likely as different to what one’s eye truly saw at the time of exposure as a processed RAW or JPEG image.

Odd question! I don't have to be there, to know. I sometimes ask the photographers and they admit to cheating.
I can see why you feel the way you see every thing around you I’ve been too the UK 🇬🇧 A couple of times!

If you want to see nature in the raw, you should be thanking photographers who remove such wonderful displays of man's ingenuity at spoiling our world. Man's "advancement" is not on a linear scale - it is more on a logarithmic scale - which gives us about 60 years before armageddon.

Wow, with such despair how to do manage to drag yourself out of bed in the morning to use the computer which depends on those very cables and telephone poles and eat your breakfast brought to you over those roads that are everywhere?

Not an odd question if you don't have the opportunity to ask the photographer.

I've been doing this long enough to make an educated guess, as to who is baiting.
Last summer, I started a topic regarding, baiting birds of prey. It generated mixed emotions.
