Another break?
I guess you don’t need to use Sony camera to enter the contest. Most wining entries were shot with Nikon.
how do you know what camera they used?
There’s EXIF plug-in for web browser.
Seems that the instagram look have been the basic for judgements. A perculier set of photos…
Can’t people take photographs any more without butchering them in Photoshop?
There has always been a bit of magic done in the darkroom, but with Photoshop it’s getting beyond ridiculous.
Have you seen out of camera shots?
Right, OOC shots are pretty rare among amateurs these days. However, shooting JPEGs is like shooting slides — little freedom in post-processing. Exposure and white balance must be spot on, etc. More experience needed. Sounds challenging!
Are you saying that you are unable to take a good photograph without resorting to Photoshop?
Considering Sony’s JPEG engine, resorting to Photoshop to some extent is a must if you want to get the best out of your Alpha/NEX.
😀
Indeed, overly processed photos are a crime against photography.
I find it weird when people spend thousands on expensive lenses and bodies, then completely detroy their photos by pushing all the sliders to max.
I try to limit my post processing to white balance, exposure, contrast and clarity adjustments in ACR. Then again, my Photoshop skills are non-existent, so maybe I’m just jealous!
This.
I use ACR/LR to do stuff that I’d originally do in a darkroom.
It appears that people are wow’ed more by Photoshop skills than photography skills, but each to their own.
I’m just an old SLR guy, you had to get the basics pretty much right and tweak it a little in the darkroom. Now it appears that as long as you can frame a shot, the rest is done on a PC.
Sure I can! But I’m getting more and more spoiled by darktable.
You might as well get yourself a compact then. Save yourself a fortune on bodies and lenses. 😀
Not all compacts save RAW, unfortunately. It’s a shame! Still have to bear with NEX, like a real pro.
Well, seeing those winning photos, I am NOT so impressed!
The Photoshop was good. 😉
