WOW!! That is an AWESOME shot...

I am constantly learning and experimenting with different things... Still have a long way to go to learn all the functions of my camera and a long way to go learning to post process what I take...
I have some photos that I believe are awesome, but I also have a lot that are not the greatest. Some of my post processing is good..some bad...some really bad...and a few are are excellent. I am in this to learn new things...and have fun doing it...:)

To each his own my mind doesn't have eyes, I just take what is in front of the camera. Photography is only one of a dozen different hobbies I have, jack of all trades master of none.

Great post, I agree completely. I printed out two of my cameras' manuals and put them in separate three ring binders. I take the binders when I'm on a 'serious' photography trip; this helps a lot.

Now if I could just master perspective correction in PP...

Steve. I am both. And I do not consider them to be separate labels any more than Ansel Adams was either a photographer or a darkroom editor. A whole "photographer" has skills in both branches in the field of photography. The goal is get the image a good as possible in-camera, and refine it with editing.

I do not believe that a image straight out of the camera (SOOTC) can capture what I saw in my mind's eye. PhotoShop helps me do that.

OH MY!!!! maybe I better learn PS!!!--not sure what it would do to my heart though..haha.
two great shots...--joe

I used to be[would that make me an exspurt?{has been-drip under pressure}]an all outdoor person. now I am mostly limited to indoors and cars.. when you get into our[US]
outback,there are very few "level" horizons.
plus I believe the "perfection" needs to start with the eye and mind before the camera is used..taint easy going down the road at 75 mph..other types of things to get good shots
but too much for here/now...--joe
