Un travail bien fait

A job well done!

Seriously is that to the magic of photography. I allows us to become as close as possible to the true artists! All kidding aside, those are as we say, not too shabby!

Some of the purist disagree, but I have always felt that digital manipulation is just an extension of the art. I dont think for a moment that the masters would not try new methods or new paints.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed them. I do all my 'work' on a large monitor. Are these a bit dark? I'm assuming you view on a phone. Seems that's what many folks to. But these were quite dark as they were, as it was late, and it's hard to lighten them, without monkeying them up. There was very little to no color added to them. It was an amazing sky.

I've always struggled with that manipulation thing. When is a bunch of addition/subtraction no longer true photography. Digital makes it a lot easier than the old dodge and burn, that's for sure. Though as you say, it's all artistic in nature. And why put out an image that stinks. No one wants to see that.

But digital makes it so easy also to bracket...it's FREE. So it is so much easier to take good photos up front. And you can preview. Though I seldom do, I just fill the card, + and - exposing away. Makes for less monkeying about later on. Though sorting is a timely endeavor. I think it took me over a week to go through and do all the photos for the SnOwregon debacle extravaganza. As you say, the old time masters would no doubt done whatever it takes, to make their art as good as possible. A fine line indeed for the purist in us.

Wow, I sort of went on there like I'm talking about a fanny pack. Those small passions of life, I suppose. BTW, how IS that new pack holding up? Well, take it easy, signed, Sir Babbleiferous himself

Oh no I don't use a phone unless I have to. Buddy I am on my old Samsung TV! All 46 inches of it lol. That gives me the chance to do a post about my space I work in. I think that might be interesting.

I figured these were evening so not too dark. Here is how it looks to me

It would be fascinating to see where you play, designed as work. That's Incred (I'm attempting to be cool here...), a huge 46 inch TV. Good idea. My monitor isn't that large It's probably a 24" Something or other. (There's so many sticky notes around the bottom edge, reminding me of the 'how to's' of Steemit, that I can't read the name. ) But to coin cereal box Tony, "It's GRee-eaaaat". Can't imagine creating on a phone. Would drive me batty, plus couldn't use my spiffy Ergo keyboard.

Thanks for the look on the screen. I often wonder, my tablet makes them darker, but think it's because I turn it down to not blast my eyes. Many Steemit folks are not quite as non-young as us, and probably don't mind the brightness. Then again, I still use a flip phone. So a probable nevermind is in order.

I was going to do a post on my work desk, but HH suggested against it. I think it probably looks like I'm still stuck in kindergarten. But no doubt yours would be cool to see. I'm pretty sure you're at least up to High School in organizational skills. Cheers my friend.
