Almost always need a crop. Some need color adjustments (not so much the D300, though). And it would be hard to find a photo that didn't need a bit of sharpening.<br /><br />Now, I did all that stuff for years in the darkroom. And much more. The machines to which you took your film to be processed did it automatically. So, I don't understand when people say they think digital photos have to be just as they come out of the camera. They seldom if ever thought that about film photos. <br /><br />Furthermore, none of what we do captures "reality." It captures what our eye sees of a particular moment in time which may or may not be a valid representation and changes the second we snap the shutter.<br /><br />I consider photography an art, and thus want my photos to not only express what I think I've seen, but to be as technically perfect as they can be.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2775927225895686310.post-80266336686815227292009-08-25T11:18:21.016-04:002009-08-25T11:18:21.016-04:00nice!

I use a Nikon D300 of a D70, and do the usual stuff in Photoshop that I used to do in the darkroom - some cropping, bumping contrast, a bit of sharpening...dodging and burning (that's the Shadow/Light thingy)...<br /><br />But, the photos are usually pretty much the way they come out of the camera.Lowellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15305748075301453010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2775927225895686310.post-45436905121628861612009-08-25T10:57:16.423-04:002009-08-25T10:57:16.423-04:00question: do you shoot raw then convert to jpeg?
