Andy I could not agree more, some images are so over processed they actually look fake.
I am a believer of what you take is what you get, you have captured the light on your sensor in my day it was film.
Let me say something about other light.
I am here in Darwin trying to capture the light of lightning strikes, with some success, but also many failures.
The ones i have captured i could stack together and make a fine print, but that print is not really true, I have put lots of light together to make a pretty picture.
I feel one frame one image, and if you happen to capture that one in a hundred strike, fantastic.
I happened to run into one fellow at Nightcliff a suburb of Darwin along the foreshore, and he was a storm chaser from this area and is associated with the Storm Chasers of Darwin.
He was great to talk to and showed me a few tips, and said in his parting words, "don't worry mate keep trying you will get that special strike one day, most you see are 50% real and 50% Photoshop."
