I know that SOOC is a fallacy, every digital camera adds its own algorithms and compression rates and this in effect is a process but I am just wondering who on here does not run any extra processing at all.
I myself never used to as my Pentax K-r gave me the exact tonal range I am looking for but when that broke and I had to switch to my Canon 1100D I had little choice but to tweak the RGB Curves until I found the tones I like.
So yeah SOOC users please speak up so I can have a nose at what your doing with no extra PP haha
Using Hipstamatic for 99% it's unfair to judge. But I did tag all of my edited shots. Seems to be 10%. Could be any edit from collage to faking the entire scene (only one though). Most edits were some colour adjustments or mixing two best-shot to one.
A large number of my shots go from the camera to the computer with no editing of any kind. If I crop or make a collage I don't tag it sooc even if the image has remained as I shot it. My camera will do fish eye,tilt shift and other fun applications which I haven't used as of yet but when I do I will not tag those sooc either because I feel that is in-camera editing.
My entire first year was SOOC. This year I'd say around half of my pictures are still SOOC.
No purist reasoning, I just wanted to learn about photography first, and editing afterwards, still not learning too much about the editing lol!
@minxymissk Purist was just a lose term to fit the subject, In my mind a purist is some one who still uses darkroom techniques to manipulate film shot on a manual camera and refuses to make the switch or even use digital along side what they already do.
I read in the description of a camera for sale just the other day that the person selling it was being dragged kicking and screaming into the digital world. Being someone who started out with film then left photography for years to come back in the digital age I just cant see why he can't do both.
@grammyn Tilt shift is intended for architectural shots, I only have a wide lens and it distorts tall buildings, the tiltshift allows you to take pictures of buildings without getting that "Lean"
@grammyn Another area I have noticed this problem are shots with lots of lamp posts, telegraph poles ect. It always seems that no matter how level my horizon is something always leans and I have to crop the leaning parts out sometimes thus ruining the composition I intended. From what I have read it is just a wide lens problem though.
@sunnygreenwood LOL! So true! For me it is just an explanation. I didn't crop, rotate, saturate, or otherwise alter in any way what I saw. Now that being said I will say that when I zoom I don't note that and maybe I should!
