I recall apologizing at least once for "opening this can of worms" as I put it on PhotoShop and other editors. Had I known that it would create such poor manners and a break in civility on the part of several members, I would never have posted it. Again, I offer a Mea Culpa for creating such a ruckus.

Well since you've opened the can of worms and it is raining there, how's the fishing up that way. I find that bite more when a front is moving through. As for the edit in camera bit, different for stokes different folks. Some people like the challenge of doing everything in the camera, some people like the control and results of post-processing. Both ways of thinking are valid. Just as long as everybody is having fun. I love that fact that we are all different, it makes life interesting and enjoyable:-).

I think I really missed my point here. My disdain for editing a photo lies in the misrepresentation of a model in a fashion magazine when the wrinkles, moles, birth marks, and dark shades under her eyes have been airbrushed out. Did the editor not create a lie?

Doesn't using any editor indicate that the user was not satisfoed with the original? If so, why not make a few minor changes to WB, ISO, or a whole host of other adjustments depending on your ccamera? I find editors akin to any other crutch we rely on to make a change. Maybe we should put more thought into taking the photo in the first place, or pushing the shutter a few more times with Exposure Compensation variables applied
Just a thought on a rainy Sunday in Ohio.

Some of your pictures could benefit from using the D Lighting function on your camera. The first one is a good candidate for bringing out the foreground color and detail of the trees which currently appear almost black. Just a thought.

I am a newbie to this site but would like to comment on your very high ISO setting for this picture. It is causing a significant amount of noise that you could have avoided given the available light. Spiffy pic on all other levels.
