In 2016 my wife and I took a trip to the Grand Canyon. On impulse we decided to take a helicopter tour of the canyon. If you haven't done it, it is well worth the expense. I had a Kodak Easy Share camera with a 12X zoom that was several years old and we shot through the windows of the helicopter. I was more than happy with the pictures at the time but after looking back at them I decided to use them to practice in LR. With a little help from the Auto suggestions here is the before and after. I was thinking of giving away my old Kodak but not now.

Terrific, Keni! I saw your note in another topic about how you are going to have to retire sooner rather than later because you're hooked on learning and practicing pp

Thank you Linda. The earliest I can retire is in 4 years. Unfortunately my financials plan does not align with my new obsession so 3693 days to go.

PP can be a fun experience, at least for me. I like your results, and the more you progress the more you will look back at your older shots and say what was I thinking when I processed that shot. SOOC will be dead to you.

I really enjoy it, almost as much as taking the picture. It makes me want to get one of those notebooks that are specifically for drawing and graphics with a stylus.

Actually, post processing is absolutely necessary in digital photography. In most point and shoot cameras the post processing is set up inside the camera and applied the same to every image. Many use these settings even in their DSLRs. Those settings in most cases can be changed . . . but as you can appreciate . . would not be practical for each shot. The best method, obviously, is to keep the camera settings for everything, including sharpening, contrast, saturation, etc., to neutral, then make all those adjustments on the computer after the fact. That is also why those proficient at post processing will prefer shooting in RAW format, as it gives more latitude for the post processing. (More information to work with)
Enjoy!
