According to my grammar check mechanism, there are 24 grammatical technicalities that require addressing-I'm working on it! I agree that better use of the English language is important for better and more concise communications. I'll do better!

What needs work on your account is your abuse of this forum. You are carrying on a protracted series of ongoing barbs and insults that are a waste of time and bandwidth. You seem to be enjoying the in-kind responses. I also do not agree with those who have attacked your nationality- that is equally as destructive and immature.

As it stands, folks will shoot in whatever mode accommodates their purposes and degrees of skill and knowledge of photography and post-processing procedures. Everyone on this thread has expressed their opinions. The folks reading on are not stupid or ill-informed and have the ability and talent to make up their own minds.

If again you will excuse my use of the vernacular- Come on y'alll- KNOCK IT OFF. Stop inciting bad behaviour by responding to useless rhetoric and stimulating more nonsense!

This is not a spelling-bee or a creative or technical writing forum. If you want to prove your point about Jpegs and SOOTC shooting, why no post a series of your IMAGES done in this manner to prove your point?

That sir is a stretch into the world of lies. Ansel Adams was a master, I think we can all agree. He did emphasize composition and proper exposure for the story he was trying to tell. As such he shortened or prolonged development time and utilized dilute developers on occasion.

But he then took his negatives in to the dark room and worked them tirelessly. An example was "Moonrise over Hernandez", an image the he reprinted for 20 years finally getting the image he wanted.

Thus shooting RAW is not covering inadequacies, as you say, but allowing the photographer/artist the opportunity to achieve the image he pictured in his mind when he made the exposure.

I'm very happy to respond to anyone and any challenge to what I've posted. You haven't done that. In this thread you haven't made one substantive comment -- just drive-by trolls. Here's my first response to your trolling: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-680289-2.html#11876065

Your response was a troll: "Time waster. All that faff."

If you have anything to offer beyond juvenile trolling I'll listen. Explain why I'm wrong about what I posted: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-680289-2.html#11876065

This post is just another juvenile troll.
