It somehow brings an impression that you're quoting/replying someone else's pic.

It's by choice you like to edit go ahead I just indicate there a light room stated in there only.

Added on October 5, 2012, 5:36 pmYour work is the far the most impressive on the Nokia 808 pureview without the need of any post processing. Keep it up the next phase or challenge try capture moving stuff like insects, human, animals . Capturing stationery stuff is far the easiest.

This weekend I might try capture water drops again.

actually, i'm more than happy if anyone can shed some light on how i can improve on photography.

all i get was "they look nice, but you need to go back to the basic of photography". so what's exactly wrong on my works? are they so bad? but they look nice? but they're so bad to the extent i need to go back to the basic of photography? what the??

some of the shots were taken having to post process in mind because i'm working beyond what the camera isn't capable of, for examples:

1. harsh mid noon sunlight - you either get overblown highlights, or overly dark shadows.
2. muted colors by default - instead of tweaking the saturation setting in-camera, i use better software to do it later.
3. over saturated colors - some of them, even leaving all settings to default or even negative saturation setting, some of the vibrant colored flowers still can be easily overblown resulting a hugh blotch of the same color. i even need to desaturate the specific colors or else they look out of balance.

in fact, most of the flower shots received only minor editing. those HDR shots on the other hand were done on purpose.

and why working beyond the limitation of the camera? because i'm a casual shooter, i like taking photos when i have the mood. unfortunately, most of the recent shots were taken under bright and harsh sunlight. do i have to wait until the light is right and shoot again? sorry, that's a waste of time to me. i have more important things to do in life than spending so much time taking shots at the right moment just to post it on the web and hope to get praised as being skillful, heh. if i were to work around the limitation of the camera phone i would have taken much less photos (part of the reason why you don't see much indoor and night shots using camera phone).

i totally understand the need to go back to the basic of photography, getting OOC right is important so give the post processing maximum. but again i was shoved down the throat with this "going back to basic of photography" and "dunno how to drive already want to modify car" without even pointing a single flaw of my works. what gives?

because of all that, the only conclusion i can come out with, is "i need to rely on editing to get good images", hence "editing is cheating".


by the way, if anyone of you insisting post processing is cheating, i feel sorry for ya - it shows that your definition of art is very limited and poor. i like this quote that i came across the internet "if post processing is cheating, it's like saying an artist having the 64 colors in his hands, and go out to buy few more colors".

What is OOC?

SOOC = straight out of camera. means literally no editing from camera,

you got point here, totally agree with your reason. not all people same when taking picture, some other people have their own way, different thinking and opinion. its not anyone fault, even dslr people also edit and need lightroom/fotoshop software to make kaw2 until it nice. but its just only better if can capture nice pic without any post processing.

i see a strong misperception here. that's all I can say.

guess camera phone shooter and proper camera shooter are different species afterall...

in life there no such thing as right or wrong. It's on individual preferences. When people talk about dslr that is 2nd stage of photography higher investment and maintenance. I learned the hard Way and this helps me when I am using dslr. If someone priority is edit they don't need a Nokia 808 pureview they can use any phone.

Why I said dslr is 2nd stage dslr comes with raw so u can edit later and all the info are retain. Dslr have a high shutter speed, manual control, flash and wide open bokeh.

So u understand why I learned the hard way because I apply the same logic from all camera to 808. So usually those edit their photos often you notice they have to do it nearly to all the photos rather than a few. Indirectly they gain a skill as well
