Never said I was great.

All I knew was auto settings didn't work. Air Force security was not going to let me climb ladders to put filters on THEIR spotlights. With my little bit of knowledge of the photographic process, I had to try something to get an image to work with. An airplane nose and tails with a big white glare in the middle can't be saved any where, any way, by any means. How much detail do YOU need to understand the process I went through and how many images I trashed to get a few to work with.

AND, if you actually read my post you know I worked on them PP. Some images were of the placards I did not have time to read. Some images were of details that no one, including you would care about. So they are fine as is.

Again I say. Any fool can criticize. Try offering some help instead of putting yourself on a pedestal.

The one place that SOOC is important is court.

Maybe. Your only chance is to follow Hernandez.

It's actually a good read . . .


No read would justify those condescending idiots.

Your quote, "there is no such thing as a "bad" picture, only "bad" post processing."

Surely, You Jest. Hard to think anyone would make such an inane statement.

Get used to it. It's common around here.

I've been noticing that, Jim Bob. I think you're right.

There is not much to discuss here. I totally agree with you. But I do not bother to argue with people about this. If the SOOC's are happy with their pics I have no reason to spoil their happiness. But I have tried to shoot in Jpeg instead of Raw and can not understand how anybody can be generally happy with results from that kind of shooting. Of course, you have some luck some times and get good shots that way but that means that counting on luck becomes a main factor for most of my shooting. So I do all my shooting in Raw and like you say it only takes about a minute or less to adjust the sliders until I am happy with the results. The great thing about Raw is that it is often possible to turn flat and dull lousy looking pics into nice or beautiful pictures that I and others can enjoy. This is not possible with Jpeg pics. I am shooting Nikon and Sony. Maybe Canon users get better results with Jpeg shooting.

Obviously you lack the ability to reason. Some of the best images are from JPEGS despite your inability to..."understand how anybody can be generally happy with results from that kind of shooting." Geesus. Another one. They linger here like flies on a turd.

So Toby, what your are saying is that PP is a must and not an option, that we go out and spend all this money on these DSLRs that are incapable of taking good pictures SOOC, WOW. Can you imagine if back in the film days we had to PP our every shot that we took because it wasn't good enough, thank GOD for Ansel Adams for saving the day, what would we have done with out him! The thing is that we never saw his SOOC shots, which I am sure were crap, or were they, otherwise he would not PP'd them, give us a break. You never see us SOOC proponents start something like this, it's
guys like you that wear that I PP label like a badge of honor, I PP, so I must be a photographer mentality.
Just relax and let everyone do what they want.

For the life of me, I can't understand why you are still here - you must enjoy complaining about that bunch. Otherwise what else would you do? Spend more time with the wife, kids, grand kids? Or take more shots outside? Or help the needy? Nahhhh! This is more fun for you.

When you own the site, you can control who comes and goes. Otherwise, fu*k off. Perhaps you should follow your own advice.

Jimmy bob, you must be off your meds today. AGAIN.

What ever drug you are on that helps you understand simply sentences, please do take them as per direction.

Who ever said anything about controlling whether you should stay or go?

It is very simple - you constantly complain about other people on this site. Why not join another site where everyone is perfect like yourself?

Oh and btw, you are not in the attic where you can be yourself - in this forum, you need to pretend to be normal.

What you don't understand is that photography is about PERSONAL EXPRESSION....so do what pleases you, and let others do what pleases them. It is nothing to have a cow over. Freud would call you "Anal." Get a life already.
