Post-processing to perfection?
za33photo replied to mikemorrellNL's topic in Casual Photo Conversations
I do not shoot RAW files and do not do any post-processing , although I will sometimes (very occasionally) do a bit of "sharpening" using Irfanview , but nothing else , I try to use "straight out of the camera" JPEG files when using digital cameras. The same thinking applies when I am using Film , scanning the Negative as a JPEG without any post processing at all. If a picture looks good to me , fine , and if it does not look so good to me , so what!. Agonizing over the quality of a picture is counter-productive and a waste of time in my opinion. Photography is our hobby so don't sweat the small stuff. If you have to earn money with your camera different criteria will apply. -

It is indeed a sad day when Nikon has to resort to the sticky stuff to repair their (expensive) products. How the mighty have fallen 😒.

Every 2 months or so , I expose my unused lenses to direct sunlight for about 2 hours at a time to try and PREVENT fungus growth. These lenses are stored in a zip-up light tight bag because I have nowhere else to store them. Am I wasting my time , or is there perhaps a better procedure that I should use. Thank you.

Interesting news. IF they can make a good quality camera with NO plastics or electronics , and of equal quality to their old manual Pentaxes. But somehow I do not think that this product will be acceptable to modern photographers , or be economically viable for Pentax.
