NOT A PHOTOSHOOT OF AN APEX SILVER EVOLUTION VIII

[MongolPup]

i dont like HDR or the "HDR look" so my shots will always be bland

I ruv you (+reps). A "professional" on here posted an incredibly processed picture he took and someone goes "oh man, you always take the best pictures!". I wanted to say no where in the world looks like this mans pictures, he is tampering with them. It has nothing to do with his skills as a photographer.

Sure I have photoshop but this is about the limit of how my photos are adjusted.

Editing is huge in photography. Proper editing is second in importance to the lighting. However, if you're a master at lighting, you won't need to edit much. Shots taken outside where you cannot control the lighting without a ton of equipment, editing is key in making or breaking your shot.

Hold up, I'll try to find the photo I was talking about. I agree with what you're saying, but shouldn't editing enhance or slightly correct a good photo, not MAKE a good photo?

exactly! reps sir.

i do my best to make a good photograph then touch it up in post process not hide the quality of the photography in editing. if my shots arent good enough then my photography needs to get better, not mask it with post process.

yes. and no. If you cannot control the lighting, the editing has to do it for you.
