Non-edited, SOC image examples that are PERFECT: Currently, there is another discussion on this site about "I don't do any post-processing, because I nail it perfectly in the camera".

Currently, there is another discussion on this site about "I don't do any post-processing, because I nail it perfectly in the camera". Frankly, I haven't met but maybe less than 1% of photos that couldn't stand a little bit of post processing work.

I'd like to see some examples from others that say they do 0 post-processing and there is absolutely nothing that could be better with their image...so the rule is, SOC (straight out of the camera) images only...no cropping, or white balance adjustments, cloning, etc.

Let's see some examples. Personally, I don't have any.

Me either...There's no way the camera captures the image as I see it in my minds eye...

The only thing we can do is wait and see what is posted (if anything)...cause I'm with you Scott.

I don't have any, either. Most of my shots are made with the intention of cropping to print size.

The whole argument in that thread is about semantics...

I would never think of putting up an image for public view that did not go through my PP regimen. Every single image has PP, some more than others. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, and I am totally fine with that.

Took the "s" out of the Flickr link so it would work...Hmmm, still didn't work

Searched you on Flickr (followed you as well) & here is the link to your Flickr page...

That works - if anyone can fatfinger on a keyboard, that'd be me!

What you see is NOT what you get - with ANY camera. If you shoot with a Brownie or a Leica S2-P, to suggest that's the only correct vision is WRONG.

Wow, and I thought by now this post would have been filled with those perfect non edited pictures...especially with the way some were saying how good they were.

I was waiting for the torrent to start as well.
Maybe they are searching through their cat and flower photos.

I'll bite, I don't have any SOC that are perfect. I do something to every image I like. But here is one I took last night and this is right out of the camera just converted to jpeg. I would never say my images are good soc so I don't understand that logic. Just the noise alone makes this image need pp work. This is about as close as I ever get and there is work to be done here and that was after a well thought out image and numerous shots.

Nice shot, pretty close to perfect, but if this were a product shot, even that tiny piece of thread on the left hand side of the top spool would need to go along with that and the dark spot in the background)...of course as you mentioned a touch of noise reduction and some slight shadow recovery could help.
