Joe, dogs have owners. Cats have staff. I know. My house is kept solely for the comfort and benefit of the cat.

My point is what is a perfect photo.
I see lots of photos that are raved about and I find that they totally suck to me.

I agree with you, John. level horizons are easy to produce. My biggest gripe is shutter clickers who are wanna-be photographers but avoid processing. As opined by a very famous photographer, "One doesn't take a photograph. One makes a photograph", or something along those lines.
Those folks who feel they can sidestep the fundamentals of photography by simply using the lastest whizbang software that does the work for them.

Mine is looking at photo's that aren't level. I seem to have a particular talent for spotting the slightest deviation from the perpendicular and only wish I could extend that talent to the many other faults I display in my own images.

My use has nothing to do with SOOC. 1-degree and 1/2-degree light meters allow me to accurately place tonal values in the initial capture and then fine-tune that placement in processing.

I have and primarily use two light meters. One is an SEI Photometer. The other is a Sekonic L758DR.

I have a number of lenses that require the f-stop to be set to the smallest opening when used on my digital Nikons. That's just the way it works.

Please, let's separate state and religion (and photography). I have been hand-slapped here for politically slanted comments. To me, religion is even worse. Or open a religious category so that we can have some really nasty donnybrooks.

Very nice. I should think the satisfaction of completing such a task would provide some level of reward and satisfaction.

The jigsaw puzzle I bought my wife for Christmas proved quite a challenge but, never one to give up, she’s finally mastered it! You may recognise the image as one of my composites. I should have added something - a texture or pattern - to the plain areas of the background, it involved trying each piece in turn rather than matching any part of a picture. Very laborious and something I wouldn’t personally have the patience for, my name NOT being Job!

NIC has its good points. However, to produce a good black and white photo it takes a bit more than just converting the original capture to a really nice black and white photograph. It would take an understanding of The Zone System and how you camera handles the dynamic range of the scene. Thus, how to place the best rendering of the scene in black and white. Another thing to consider is the application of colored filters so you can reproduce those effect in the final photograph. Additionally, how to adjust for color contamination. These will help you produce the best gradations in the final print.
Just pushing buttons on presets and hoping for the best somewhat removes you from being the photographer creating the photograph. The software did it instead. There are any techniques that will convert a digital capture to black and white. I have found it’s not a one size fits all situation. It’s similar to selecting a grade of paper when printing in the darkroom.
