Right, but you do need pp, as the camera (any camera) is not able to show a scene exactly as it is/was - as it is seen by the photographer. Our eyes do show us an already process image in a way a camera can't. You might be able to come somewhat close, but to really show the image as you have seen it, one needs to do all sorts of post processing afterwards. An sooc image is just an abstraction of the real thing!

I agree...the results can be spectacular if used sparingly.
Agree, use with light touch!

This female Golden Huntsman spider was out of the norm for me, she was almost an inch long, as opposed to the few millimeters long spiders I have been photographing. It took 75 images focus stacked to get her completely in focus.
That is very, very tiny for a huntsman spider!

I took this picture the other day on my Nikon7100 using an AF-S Nikkor 18-300mm lens. It was wide open at 18mm. Not a great photo, but it demonstrates a problem that happens often, but I have not paid much attention to until now. The fence I took the picture through appears to be bowed, but that is not the case in reality. This happens often whenever there is a straight edge in the picture like when I photograph puzzles we have finished.
Is this a problem with the lens or what? Thanks.

Yeah, that is the field curvature of said lens,and its easily corrected in post!

I have a Canon 6D and I want to get a flash mostly for fill light in daytime. I'm not really interested in a flash that's smarter than I am. I just want a flash that I can attach either on camera or with a long cord that I can adjust the settings to my liking. What do you recommend? Thanks.
If you're not interested in a higher end model, buy a simple manual flash you can get for 50 bucks. They do everything you mentioned just fine. The choice is yours, there are so many to choose from, Yungnuo's do work fine, but need careful handling!

Anyone here familiar and have used a Pro Media Gear BH-1 ballhead? I'm looking to get a really good ballhead and am considering this or the RRS BH-55. I was watching some youtube videos and a lot of the presenters preferred it to the RRS model.
I'm using this ballhead for many years and I'm really pleased by it. It is very quick in its usage, solid and stays put when you lock it! 50lbs load capacity is plenty, I'm a happy camper! The RRS 55 head is also a very great head, but at a thousand bucks, just a ted spendy for me!

What it will ultimately come down to is price. ADOBE has ignored the consumers desire to keep costs down and continued to increase pricing each year with different marketing strategies. The pendulum swings and there will always be a new kind on the block. I don't believe ADOBE will hold its marketplace.
They have not raised their prices in a very long time and Photoshop these days is way cheaper than it has ever been!

Because I will be processing multiple shots for a photo stack shot, I assume that the best settings for the camera would be with a high aperture (f1.4 or lower), an ISO speed that would be as low as possible to reduce noise, and a shutter speed to capture the best light.
Whatever floats your boat, just like in every other shot, but set all that in manual mode and you're good to go!

Which is better for highest quality : Scanning with a high quality scanner or photo copying with a high quality setup(macro lens, flash, dead even lighting) ?? B&W 5x7 prints . Thinking as scanning can take a couple of minutes each photo versus photocopying with flash that photo copying would be quicker . Have about 200x photos to do .
Scanner will always produce superior outcomes!

When taking photos of buildings with a crop sensor the buildings Are not plumb/vertical, Is this condition less with a full frame camera. And other than post processing and/or a tilt shift lens, Is there any other way or technique to get buildings trees etc to be plumb/vertical sooc.
No, that has absolutely nothing to do with being a "crop" camera, or full frame camera, it's the person behind the camera (the lenses he uses and from what standpoints he shoots, etc.)!
