A fun idea for your photography:<\/p>\n

\n For a month, experiment just shooting only JPEG (no post-processing) — and see if this helps librate you in photography!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The future of photography is editing (selecting your photos)<\/h2>\n

This is my theory:<\/p>\n

\n In today’s modern digital photography world, we are drowning in a sea of images– we have too many photos to look through!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When I say ‘editing’ — I mean the art of image-selection (not post-processing). While post-processing is fun, it is time-consuming. And I don’t know about you, but often I get so overwhelmed by my backlog of photos to look through, I delay it as long as possible (because I get overwhelmed by the seemingly insurmountable thousands of pictures I must trudge through).<\/p>\n

I like JPEG. I love the colors that your camera produces when you shoot JPEG. I also like it that when you shoot JPEG, and when you review your photos on your screen afterwards, ‘What you see is what you get.’ Not only that, but when you shoot with an electronic viewfinder or an LCD screen, you can instantly see what you’re about to photograph.<\/p>\n
