[QUOTE="grandpaw, post: 221219, member: 8635"] I guess I need to come clean on my photography starting with the fact that I shoot in aperture priority and like to control the depth of . Before I have even pressed the shutter button I have started manipulating the picture. I usually focus on the eye of the bird and throw the background out of focus so I have to confess that when I look at the scene without my camera that the background is much sharper than it is in my images that I post. Yes I manipulate each picture but I try and do as little as possible. To me there is a differnce between tweaking a picture and creating it in Photoshop. To me, once you have taken your camera off of full auto you have started to control and change the picture so I think the big question is not IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE CHANGING the image but how much manipulation in camera or by using software can you do to an image without going too far. To me this is kinda like driving down the interstate on vacation and someone passes you doing about 90 miles an hour in a 70MPH zone and you get all huffy about their speed and make the statement that you hope there is a State Trooper around the corner that gives them a ticket. The funny thing is that you are doing 75MPH which is also over the speed limit but don't think there is anything wrong with your speed. I guess we just all have different ides about what is acceptable and what isn't. [/QUOTE]
