Happy New Year! Wow, it's 2020, sounds futuristic, yet here I am still creating in an old fashioned way. Yes, I shoot digital now along with film, but I'm not over processing or over editing the images.
I really do like to keep to as natural and organic an image as possible.
I know, I'll never be famous this way, but that's not why I do it.
Remember what attracted you to photography in the first place? Was it twenty years ago? Thirty? Forty? It was even longer ago for me. I just loved art, mostly black and white photography; landscapes, portraits, abstracts. I wanted to create that. So I got a camera and did it.
Back in those days the art of photography required a working knowledge of the camera settings, film and if you were really creative, the darkroom process.
Evolving into present day and using a digital camera, I still like to use the camera settings, filters and exposure techniques to get what I want. There are still some post editing tweaks that I find necessary but I'm not using PhotoShop! I had it once, CS6 I think, but honestly, it just left me flustered and confused.
I use Paint Shop Pro and AfterShot 3 Pro from Corel. It's still a little daunting but all I need are some light editing effects. I want a truly organic image that I can be proud of.
What are your thoughts about PhotoShop? Do you use something else?
