I always do the former, I never do the latter and most serious, documentary, reportage or ‘fine art’ photographers typically draw the line here as wel.
Whilst I totally agree with most of that Greg I do feel there is a significant part of the fine art community that do utilise the opportunities that Lightroom and Photoshop offer. They always have with darkroom techniques. I know most of that happens in areas of photography away from your interest but to deny its presence seems wrong to me. If anyone screws with reportage photos they submit to me I go a bit bonkers, fine art I happily accept, it's what I see I'm responding to.
on the touching up editing subject.
phone shots have a bit of straightening and levels adjusted but as I shoot RAW on my DSLR I do a fair bit of adjusting. Merging of multiple exposures to remove blown highlights,WB,adjustment of highlight mid tone and shadow levels, lens correction, sharpness, adjust individual colour levels and saturation levels, free transfer to straighten up wonky ceiling and walls and to improve the symmetry of the image, lightening and darkening of areas to improve its look.
Some of you photos sofaking really have mexstupruggling to see where the mirroring occurs end the you just do a simple image if a great scene l look forward to your stuff.
Thanks very much eddiebaby
In English this time (don't try to post in dodgy cabs with text correct):
Some of your photos sofaking really have me struggling to see where the mirroring occurs and then you just do a simple classic image of a great scene, l look forward to your stuff, and Greg's and Polarisandy.
I am not a photographer, but I'm quite proud of this photo taken with my budget android phone...

...because this was the end of a "gravel" ride with Kryton Junior when he attempted this steeper-than-it-looks descent off a grassy bank on his jnr TCX He took a few goes to go over the top, but once he did he loved it.
it did take me a while to decipher your comment eddiebaby 🙂
There's a greasy spoon cafe next door to our office in Parson's Green that's been there for years. The people who run it are lovely and the patrons, most of whom are regulary, are such a great bunch of characters. I really want to make this place a specific project and have started to take a few photographs in there (with the owner's permission of course). The shot above of the table with the sauce bottles is the same place.
Bernard is one of the regulars and real character. He is lovely but perhaps a little lonley. He comes in all the time to chat and drink coffee and is very happy to be photographed.

Something quite different from me - a little experiment with the windfall end of season apples, a red table cloth, strong light through a window and a diffuser.

Very Dutch. I like.
On and on
One day I'll take a photo from there,Ventoux's an ambition of mine.
Very Dutch. I like.
I'm going to be presumptive and assume you mean the apples, so thank you. Regarding the Dutch masters influence, yes, but ironically I had this in mind when setting it up:

Please tell me you didn't put the wheelchair there.
Not proud, but do like. Scarborough harbour yesterday evening.
Hanging around the Barbican - "la belle et le beton" 🙂
No Eddiebaby, the place was shot as I found it, but it has been empty since 2000 so I guess it could have been staged at some point

Marvelous GT!
Not totally sure about the web traces being so visible. Visually they bother me a bit but conceptually they need to be there.

A few from the Ingleton Waterfall Trail this weekend
Nice moving water shots. Love that technique. One of mine from aira force. Composition and stability could be better but was shooting from my hands with a toddler on my back in a rucksack.

These are from a trip to Harris a couple of months ago.
