This challenge has produced some feelings of guilt. After all - this is a photographic community, not an IT, muck around with your photo, community. So, is it just laziness to snap away knowing that I'll fiddle with the result anyway? Probably! So now each first and last day of the month for my project is going to be -One shot, NO edit- day. So thanks to all of you for your positive comments - you've shown that it is possible. Many thanks Rob :) @shutterbug49@golftragic@jacqbb@jgpittenger@casablanca@30pics4jackiesdiamond@sarahlth
@30pics4jackiesdiamond Thanks Jackie - no doubt I'll need it!! BTW - thanks for your reply - when I read my screed again I saw it had converted all of the inverted commas into goobledy goop! Bit weird.
@robz Life is too short to have the guilts about making art and enjoying one's hobbies Rob. With digital photography we're able to have our cake and eat it too. I can see where you're coming from, but IMO taking the shot sooc and taking a shot with the probability it'll be edited are both legitimate activities under the 365 banner.
Lovely image, the shadows and your little dog sat by the fence!
I think sooc is more challenging if your camera doesn't have the ability to choose settings, say if you want to lighten an image. You take and edit some really interesting photos..it is your project!
@golftragic Thanks for your kind words Marnie and I do agree with your ideas. And - it is just a hobby - one in which the digital component is just as much fun as the mechanical. But, I think it might be good for the soul to have a go at just two designated days a month of discipline - LOL - and we'll see how it goes - might not last long! Cheers Rob
@rosie00 Thanks so much Lesley - that is a lovely compliment and it's very kind of you to say so. It is a fun hobby - and opens up so many new ideas. Thanks again - Cheers Rob
