No for once I was agreeing with your posts. posting.php?mode=reply&f=4&t=2025#

Tom, your link is pointing to a reply, so I still do not know what we are agreeing on but at least we are on the same page.

Having just finished running a photographic workshop for the past five weeks it is apparent to me that the average person just wants guidance regarding what makes a good picture, composition, use of depth of field etc. The thought of using Photoshop to some is alien.

That makes sense, straight out of the camera or smartphone as a JPEG is good enough for most. I know of at least one good photographer who works that way as well. In some ways, it's just like shooting slide film.

Mike,

On the same point (your last post) I know of at least 3 professional photographers who only ever shoot JPEG, especially for weddings and studio work. Their logic is to get it right in the camera because they either cannot be bothered or don't have the time for post-production editing.

Regards,

Tom

A lot of sports photographers and photojournalists do the same, especially as they will probably shoot a lot of images and the quality does not need to be that high for print. Just think how many shots will get taken during a football match; that's not something which you would want to spend hours processing with a deadline looming.
