Originally posted by RagnorakThat's exactly what's been happening to me for the past two years. Well, kinda. I do the same without the alarms and the getting up for a brief moment now.
I still somehow managed to convince myself to turn off the other alarm, and go back to sleep. 😞

Are you liking your new camera, David?
Using it is something else though. I can't quite predict how some shots will come out, and I kinda miss being able to use a variety of films and developers. I still have to get used to shooting digital. With film, I knew where my limits in post-processing were (I only used photoshop to do stuff that I could reproduce without a computer), but now I have to find out again how far I can go without having the feeling that I'm not photographing anymore.

Originally posted by DdVI hesitated switching to digital, too. I was very comfortable with my 35mm. I switched less than two years ago when we found out we were pregnant with our first baby, knowing I'd take hundreds of photos. That feeling of "how far can/should I take this post-processing in PhotoShop" was something I struggled with initially, too. Now, after shooting digital exclusively for about two years, those limits are hard to remember. I try to err on the side of less, but I don't know anymore, and that bugs me genuinely.

Originally posted by pinkthunderYou shouldn't let it. If you're entering a competition or submitting photos to somewhere then I'd expect the limits for post-processing to be set out. If they are for personal use then, well, surely you go as far as you want to make the result look like you intended - there's little gain in agonising over the work.

Originally posted by mrmistI don't know, I think I know what pinkthunder means. I too like to have a framework to work in, something that helps me find out what I intend to make when I take a photograph.
