started film in the sixth grade. Move to developing b&w in a home darkroom and high school. A Canon AE-1 and I went every where. That was great training yet today is 10000000 times better. RAW is what we only thought about back in the day. We have the original and are able to be creative. I realize that what you see is not always what is really there. Scott Kelby made the statement about people portraits that in regular shots we take a three dimensional person and put them on two dimensions. All their flaws are heightened and distorted. By use of processing we can make it look closer to real.

Trolling are we? Also try spelling the title correctly.
It's interesting how most people have taken the post in the spirit it was intended, and how a very few have looked for something to be offended about. As far as I know there's no rule that you have to reply to a thread. ;) pith

I haven't heard that statement before," what you see is not always what is really there" but that's as true a statement as I can think of in photography.

I'm new at this and at Lightroom 5. So I just Tweak, for now. I'm sure before long I will be Twerking.

One of those commenters completely turned the thread around with his sarcastic post. It seems to be on track again. The overwhelming majority of us just don't think that way. I had to go back and read your original post to see if I missed something, I just had to shake my head, not going to mention any names. Good job and excellent topic to consider.

It's the final image that counts. Why would it matter if one gets there by tweaking or twerking?
Yes, it is the final image that counts!!! I am not a recorder of an image, but rather a producer of what I see in my mind. My icon shot looks nothing like the original except the pose of the dancer.

It looks like a great image RICARDOOO, I'd like to see the bigger version. ;) pith

Thanks Ibrandt79, hopefully the thread can stay on track, and it's clear most folks get it. I came from a site where good natured ribbing was enjoyed, and fun for the majority of members. Sadly it's gone the way of the dinosaur.

"Am I having fun doing this?" That's the only question I have to answer when shooting or post processing; but still, I use PP to "fix" pictures not to create something new so I guess I'm a tweaker.

You make it sound like there are two camps. Tweak and Twerk. I say that there is one large camp, with a small bunch of experienced and skillful "complete" photographers that can either record reality or create art with equal prowess and absolutely gorgeous results, and a much larger group that aspires to be like the skilled, an one last bunch that lack the skills in post processing do make an image what they want it to be, and they call themselves tweakers. :) Just having some fun with your completely absurd post.

When I started it was with a fully manual camera and lens. A lot of time had to be spent getting ready to push the trigger on the camera, or spend a lot of money on crap pictures. I have never gotten out of the habit of getting the settings as well as the angles as good as possible before committing to the shutter. So I guess I'm a tweater and proud of it.

My goal will always be getting it right in camera first, then a little tweaking for minor perfection. Slight twerking will be necessary if my in camera results are not as planned. Is converting to B&W twerking? You used an interesting analogy and I am trying to go with it, just can't get Miley Cyrus out of my head.
