During his speech he kept reminding us that he had barely scratched the surface as far as research was concerned, but he sure gives food for thought. How many times has a friend posted all 125 pictures of their vacation on social media when at least 75 of them should have been deleted because of poor quality!
How right he is, but I try to remember how important the 125 shots were to the person who took them and just scroll through them!

Sounds to me like Marshall McLuhan's "The Medium Is the Message" McLuhan believed a medium embeds itself in the message.

I took some country roads yesterday. I could see the sun hitting this church and drove a few miles to find it. Then guess what! I tried changing the white balance. I did not like what the tungsten WB did to the field in front at all.
annacady I agree with you on that!!!

Two taken early this morning. I almost always shoot on Auto WB. I shoot raw so I can change almost anything I need to change on the computer.

Last ones. So, I am totally confused with the differences within the same settings as well as how to know which to use. However, the challenge has made me aware of some settings I've rarely used and should give them more than a second look. Thanks, annac.
Pat WOW you did an outstanding job.

Thank You!! That is good advice. I will compete with myself for improvement.

Thanks, annacady. A little advice, I look at what others post and often ask myself "how'd they do that? Wonder if I could." And I try. If I don't try and take a risk, I'll never improve. I critique my stuff and think of things I should have/could have done differently - and next time I try at least 1 thing different. My point? I look to others for inspiration and instruction, but I compete with myself. Does that make any sense? For me, every image is a learning opportunity.
