30-35 years ago I almost thought of my camera as a means of getting raw material for doing special effects in the darkroom. If I were 17 years old today substitue photoshop for darkroom and that's what I'd be doing.
http://photo.net/wedding-photography-forum/00SlvT Is a lot of why I don't want to be a professional photographer. There is little, if any, money to be made doing the things I enjoy doing. In so small part, cue Harlan Ellison, because of people like myself who do it for fun, and are happy to be paid in thanks, compliments and ego gratification. If you want to sell wedding photographs to people who want the whizbang photoshop jobs, it seems that you have two choices, develop the photoshop skills, or hire someone like my friend Candice (I posted a link to some of her work last week) who is good at Photoshop. At some point I'm going to need to dramatically improve my post processing skills. Before I do so, I'm going to continue working on my image capturing skills, because I can always go back and reprocess raw files later. Once I start taking pictures that are actually worth printing, then developing the post processing skills will become a lot more urgent. -- The fastest way to get your question answered on the net is to post the wrong answer.
