now that is a stunner

Cheers. Nothing does justice to the scale of the place though. The canyon itself is more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, not that I've been there to compare.

You've always got to do a bit of fettling, especially if shooting in raw. Takes a bit of time, but well worth it.

That's a cracker Chris and as Gazza says, if you shoot in RAW its a given that you tweak the picture, sharpening following conversion is a must.

 

People wouldn't think twice about manipulating an image in a darkroom, somehow post processing digital is seen as 'cheating'. Digital terms such as "Unsharp Mask" actually come from the process done in a darkroom that produced the same affect.

 

Basic straightening, cropping, levels, contrast, dodge, burn, sharpening, blurring etc. are all techniques nicked from the darkroom.

All true. That said, the more you get right in the first place rather than "fixing" later, the better the image is likely to be.

thanks for that dave

I do have a problem with some of the stuff that goes on though.

I don't like the idea of trying to make a bad picture good by slathering a load of effects on it. That held good when I used to have a dark room. There are certain kinds of pictures  that really hack me off.

Absolutely, get the best image you can, but to knock it up a notch will still need manipulation.

 

Any picture you take that you are happy with is THE picture. If others like it then that's a bit of a bonus.
