The better I become at photography, the more and more boring post-processing becomes. I used to spend a good bit of time in Photoshop adjusting levels, adding floof, and post processing bells and whistles etc. Now I find myself moving a slider a little here and there to increase contrast since Raw files are so flat out of the camera, but that’s about it. This should be great news, but it honestly starts to make me feel a little guilty. Like I’m not spending enough time on each photo or something. I need to get over that, because accurate exposures the first time out of the camera are nothing to feel guilty about.
On the other hand. If I’m working on a specific type of image I’ll still process like crazy to get it the way I want it if it’s not possible with the current conditions at the time of shooting.
Now to shower and head to the studio. I have weddings and sessions to edit as well as another album to layout for Miss Leigh Webber, Charleston wedding photographer extraordinaire.
