Naise fountain of wealth peekature.

Just a question to everyone: Whatever happened to pure photography? Where the image is shot and used straight out of the camera without any post?

I know the argument for post-processing, etc. But perhaps consider
1) Pure out of camera
2) Minimal post processing - perhaps of the nature of simply clicking the "auto" button, or not more than 30seconds of minimal processing - white balancing, adjusting contrast/levels, etc...

post processed is the new black~

jus to add.. straight from the camera is limited by the one dimensional lighting/exposure captured by the camera which is not true to wat human eyes perceive

That's kind of the point - trusting what the camera captures, or literally the concept of "seeing through your lens". I love technica's images, but that's also not what the human eyes perceived.

Photography as in the film era, where post-processing wasn't an easily done affair.

/Dan
PS: No offence, tech. Just asking if there're photographers who are "stay away from computer" photographers.

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

of course the fountainy shot is not the way human eye perceive

but tats why there is HDR to recover shadows and highlights to make adjustments to photos to give it a wider dynamic range (thats the word i was looking for) that is closer to the human eye

i dunno.. after shooting for so long liaoz.. i jus feel straight out of camera (sooc) is jus too one dimensional.. how about the rest?

Really depends on photographer, those who shoot stock photos
like myself. We do post-processing within the camera.
For me, I usually shoot in JPEG as you never know whether
this shot can reused or used for media purposes or not.

When you submit shots that are post-processed, they will
know and reject the photo. FYI, my camera is always in P mode.
I constantly check:
1) Composition, if not in line I reshoot by readjusting my position
2) Cropping, since I use zoom lens. Zoom lens is a good cropping
tool other than using PS
3) Lightning - Adjust white balance if colour is dull or wash out.
Use flash to get a better exposure.

Take a look at my flickr account (In my signature), all are fresh
out of the camera.

Frankly speaking, editing your photos, e.g Lightroom, is a digital darkroom. The last time way is a simple yet hard way to edit a photo, now is a complex yet easier way to edit your photos.

 

[TrueBeliever_jh]

reminds me.. its time i should start processing my travel photos... jin lazy to process them~

it's the way digital photography works in this era. images taken are meant to be processed, be it RAW or jpg.

like what cesario said, Lightroom is the digital version of old time 'dark room'. of cos these days we do more than that, capitalising on the technology and make the best out of photography.

for the record, i process my photos with LR, CS6 and a bunch of other softwares, in my own dark room - bed room with no lights on. ambient light will kinda interfere with the monitor brightness and cause misjudgement when processing the images.

People find the colours flat for these kind of photos if the scene is kinda blend.

I always try to produce the output of what i see.. Without a calibrated display, it's kind if hard to judge whether I over processof under process...

Exceptions are long exposures, the human eyes can't exaxtly see in that way, but I'll still try to match the colours.

Edit: This is my way of expressing my photos of course.

and yes, the human eye's dynamic range is way way way above what even top of the line cameras can capture.

so if you wanna depend on SOOC output, what you see will nv be what you get.

Thanks. =) Am still learning and wish to be a student of photography. It's a philosophical question I asked, not so much to belittle your work - it is great and I really like it. It's just that I'm looking at the various forms of photography. Also picked up a couple of books - the latest one was Freeman's The Photographer's Eye, and I notice a huge emphasis on getting the photo right the first time.

You really treat your auditing process like a biz, I usually won't take more than 30 minutes on a image.

it's like why i can nv understand people who run marathon and get themselves all beat up.

one word - passion.

i am cool, no issues with anything. just sharing of opinions.

the fundamentals are still important, if your exposure, composition, focus etc are off by a big chunk, no amount of post processing can save the photos also.

Yep, it really shows in your work...

at this point of time, most ppl like those over processed pic. more colour, more saturated and out of this world colour pic....
your pic look normal if you don't follow.

during bubble tea is "in" era, a syntactic green apple juice cost $5+ and a real apple juice from few apple only cost around $2.5

 

[tecnica]

sorry la next time i dun post over processed pic ok
