The Shutterbug Society; Activity #3: Ask and Answer

[ed1nburgh.livejournal.com]

Activity: Ask and Answer
Points: 10 points participatioon
Dates: NOW until Thursday, July 1 at 22:00 PDT.

Details: Since this is a photography club and we have members of all skill levels, for this activity, you're going to have the opportunity to ask or answer photography questions you've always wondered!

FOR QUESTIONS: Be sure that it is a question of substance. Asking, "What's a camera?" will not get you points, but asking something of more substance, such as "What is the rule of thirds?" or "What's the difference between digital cameras and film cameras," will count towards points. If you are only planning on asking questions, you must ask THREE questions to get participation points.

FOR ANSWERS: If you know the answer to a question you see, feel free to respond! In order to get participation points, you must answer one question with at least five, complete sentences. It is encouraged that you post an example of what you're talking about, to make your answer totally clear.

Of course, feel free to go beyond the minimum! You may ask more than three questions or answer more than one, or any combination thereof.

If you have any questions for me, please respond to the thread below!

Shoot things, legally! Join The Shutterbug Society today!

I don't class myself as an awesome photographer by a long shot but I would like to express my opinion here! :)

I upload a lot of photographs to deviantART and I tend not to edit them that much. I don't really have a lot of knowledge of photoshop in the first place, but I don't think that a good photograph needs lot of editing. Cropping I think can be acceptable, and I tend to slightly enhance the colours but tweeking the levels and curves ever so slightly. I agree with rostelsuari, in that computer-editing doesn't make a bad photo good but can help enhance an image that is already good. I think that a lot of the emphasis should be on getting a good photograph to start with rather than taking a photograph, looking at it, thinking it's a bit crappy and then saying "oh well, I can photoshop it later." I would rather reshoot and make sure it's the best it can be!
