I Photoshop the crap out of my shots to get them as close to reality as possible, since cameras are incapable of capturing what I see.

When I studied with Ansel he taught that the image your camera captured is only the starting point to creating the image in your mind--if you shoot in RAW you absolutely must apply your own post processing--past that there isn't an image that doesn't need "something" having taken over two million pictures I have spent way more time with my computers than with taking pictures--but, withe the current state of technology that is where the image actually comes together--and the bottom line is the viewer should never be aware it has happened

I am both. Or maybe neither. I do whatever I want depending on how I feel and don't worry about anything except whether I like the result. In my work, I do spend more time in front of the computer (multi-exposure HDR for real estate). Probably an hour on site and two hours in post.

For weddings, I can't accurately estimate the times I've had a bride or mother ask me to Photoshop off a little weight. The recipients of my work do not care if it's Photoshopped, they just want the best image(s) I can give them.

My goal is to create the best possible image I can. I've been working very hard to capture better images and also to bring them out and make them pop. I aim for a reality looking image but do enhance lighting, dodge and burn and bring out contrast to turn a snapshot into a photograph. As a result I've gotten way better at capturing, watching backgrounds, compositions, lighting etc. and have gotten really good at post processing using lightroom. So I guess I am a slightly over the line twerker.

I suppose I do both, depending upon the image.
When I have a more abstract or artistic image in mind, I may push the post-processing to more extreme levels. If I'm documenting an event, I usually try to capture the image as accurately as possible in the viewfinder and then pass that image through with little or no changes.

I agree, Bob. It seems to me that the final image is ALL that matters.

Yeah Stan, I really agree with that last bit about the viewer never being aware of the pp. I also shoot raw exclusively, and try my best getting it right in the camera. I'm aware of Ansel's famous quote that the negative is the score, and the print is the performance. I guess I prefer my performances to be understated rather than over the top.
There are many talented Post processing photographers today, but I can't help but think often they get carried away, and turn what would otherwise be beautiful pictures into over sugary treats. I use too get that same feeling when Velvia was in great use. Suddenly every one was shooting Velvia with super high contrast, and overly saturated colors, which is not realistic. As many here have said each to their own. I guess the ultimate proof for anyone will be how well their photos stand the test of time, with changing styles, and pp tech.

Styles change as time passes! (Lucky it doesn't change as fast as the clothing industry.) Every generation or so it repeats itself too.

I checked it out RICARDOOO, and I have to say you have some beautiful work there beyond BEAUTIFUL ATTITUDE.
