I would like to know from you members how much processing you put into your digital pics. Once you’ve took your shot and got home only to find it’s just not right (I speak from personal experience) would you try and rectify large areas, or just when possible go out and shoot again.
The camera I use is an Olympus c-450, with no manual settings for focus or metering certain areas in frame. So most of my shots tend to come out with the foreground to dark and sky to light. I don’t particularly mind the silhouette foreground so much but the light skies in some are disappointing.
I tend to take most of my pics while out walking the dogs and because of which the intention was never specifically for photographic purpose, most of which are just point and click which is basically all the camera will let me do anyway. The reason I ask for your opinion is, as to whether I am overdoing the processing part?
Here is an example.
Pic1 as it was taken. I like the pic, although I don’t really know why.
Pic2 after a trip to Photoshop, have I asked to much from a poor first shot or gone over the top in PS.
Thanks in advance.
Ken.
