i have a love / hate relationship with this challenge...
i love that the nifty fifty is light, that it's a f/1.7... i love fiddling around with the camera settings, the light and composition to get everything as close to what i am envisioning as possible... i find this activity way more "zen" than post processing... i also like that at the end of a long day there is no need to fiddle around in LR or PS...
what i don't like? well, i do find the 25mm (i have a micro 4/3) limiting... also, as a perfectionist, it bugs me to no end when i can't fix the horizon, tweak the levels or otherwise "clean the scene"...
but it's all about the learning experience, right?
@taffy well... you could always post the processed version in a separate album for comparison. Although - I always think I want to do that and then... I don’t... 🙃
I totally agree with your point of view. As I was taking my first shot for the challenge, I was looking into the camera screen and thinking, I'll just rotate this and cut off that... and then it occurred to me: hey! no post-processing. And I laughed at myself how silly I am.
