[QUOTE="hdrsmit, post: 631837, member: 43872"] sorry, but since i'm also a dog trainer, i'll use the same analogy when someone asks what brand of dog food i feed my dog :-) some dogs can thrive on pizza and table scraps, and some get skin rashes and puke up the premium brands. rather than answer their question i always recommend they learn more about basic canine nutrition. when you start changing the sharpening on your shots and look at the differences you will begin to see what YOU like for the type of image YOU are trying to create at that moment in time. and never forget that everyone who looks at your shots will always see them in their own subjective way. whether they happen to be a photographer or not :-) if you often find yourself asking "what settings did you use ?" it might be a red flag you are trying to duplicate what someone else did rather than create your own images. start simple, change ONE thing at a time and see what effect it has on your shot. shoot one shot many ways rather than shoot many shots one way and you might make faster progress. - it worked for me :-) [/QUOTE]
