Hello All, For those who want to manipulate their photo's , this is perfectly fine as long as this fact is admitted , this is frequently not the case. In my mind it is much more satisfying to be able to take good photo's straight out of the camera without manipulation. No Photographer is capable of doing this 100 percent of the time. Small flaws in a photo are acceptable to my mind , this shows that the Photographer is human , and no human can produce perfect photo's all the time. I still maintain that manipulated photo's should fall under the classification of "Modern Art" rather than "Photography". But where Money , and/or Prestige is involved , all bets are off. Peace. Cheers.

Hello Salvadorfabiancru, All the above advice is excellent. But the best way to learn to shoot in low light is to experiment for yourself. You probably have a digital camera , if so you can take hundreds of experimental photo's at very little cost , and learn from your mistakes. You will have to use the Program mode on your camera to really learn , but the Auto setting can on occasion give very good results when the flash is turned off. I enjoy shooting in ambient (natural) light and do not to use the flash at all , but I still make many mistakes LOL. If you have a Film camera , this approach can be VERY expensive. Just go for it , you will be surprised at how quickly you learn. Best wishes.

Hello , and thanks for the reply. I am still waiting for my "public gallery" or whatever it is called to be approved. I cannot post pictures at this time. Cheers.

In my view it is not photograpy anymore , it now falls under modern "Art" , if it can be called that. The modern "photographers" are completely lost without their "photoshop" programs , they do not know how to use their camera's anymore. I know that I am in the minority here , but this is my viewpoint and I am sticking to it (laughing). Cheers and have a nice day now.

How long does it take to get approval to take part in the forums ?. Nearly 5 days wait here.
