I seem to be unable to master photo software. Maybe because I am old and have used film cameras (still do for fun) I try to get it right in the camera. Recently took some Senior Photos for a young lady. They are very good and I did not make any changes.
Good for you, that’s all that matters.👍

The idea that images from a camera are not photographs unless they meet some standard of quality is absurd. I'ver never seen a definition of photograph which sets some criteria of quality. So there is no such thing as a lousy photograph? They are not photographs at all? And who gets to decide which images are good enough to be called photographs? And who decides whether someone using a camera is good enough to be called a photographer? You'll never get a consensus.

Vericolor. Sorry about that. Sorta like standing in front of the fridge with the door open-- and asking--What am I here for?
I do that a lot myself! 😆

All that dodging, burning and controlling print exposure was just messing when a real photographer would have never done that. Come to think of it, maybe I should get rid of my Ansel Adams prints.

I was a better photographer back in the film days. Because you didn't get to see the picture right away you took your time to compose the picture to make sure it was right

Y'all just keep adding different adjectives in front of the word photographer...
but each phrase contains the word photographer.
Just different types and sub-types, but they're all photographers.

Years ago I used negatives, dodging and burning and chemicals. Today I use different cameras and a computer to dodge and burn. Nothing has changed

I started with a Argus C3 when I was about 9 a gift from my Dad and am now 82 still taking pictures and also went to NYI for wedding and portrait training across the street from the Empire state bldg in the 1960's but never made a professing of it but did some weddings and a Train and car wreck and sold it to national news co.I guess you could call me a photographer Howie1a

For over 65 years, took photos, processed film, enlarged and improved the images in the darkroom, made prints and albums, made some money and a good living, enjoyed myself. Today I do all that and more sitting behind my computer and working with software. I spend a lot less time in the dark except for Napping.
Go forth enjoy life.

I totally agree. I started darkroom use in about 1966, in high school and was late transitioning to digital in about 2010. I'm still a newbie with software, though.

If you used a camera to get the images, yes.
I don't believe it was a shoe. I believe it was a camera. It had film in it.
