I had mentioned before how I wanted my images to be sharper, especially the ones I have taken of the sky. I was browsing through Flick, and saw photos taken with the same camera I have. The images were so crisp, and breathtaking- You can see the details on every single freaking cloud! UGH! I wish I could take similar photos. Now, I don't know how much post processing the person did, or if those were the results of really great photography, but I did notice when browsing through the Exif of the photos that he had set his saturation to "high," and his sharpness to "hard." Mine were set to "normal."
I wish I had known this prior to taking this photo, maybe it would have come out better. Plus, maybe it would have taken me less post processing time- not that I did a lot. Since I had started this project, I have not had the need to "photoshop." I have been doing just basic tweaking using the Lightroom software. Honestly, I don't think I'll ever skip post processing. Even professional photographers use and depend on softwares, such as Lightroom and Photoshop. But the goal is to not depend on this software/process so much, but to achieve the photo I want through the manipulation of the settings of my camera.

This was going to be my "Photo of the Day," until my sister told me about the beautiful sunset. But I'm posting this anyway. :)
So earlier in this post, I had said that I have not had the need to "photoshop." I was close to doing it with this photos- I wasn't able to capture the blue sky with my camera. Honestly, I don't know remember if there were clouds, but I wish that the sky in my photo was blue. Of all the shots I took, I did take one in "auto" mode, just to compare to the ones I took in "manual." The sky didn't come out blue in that photo either, so maybe that's just how the sky was. It was a bright day after all. Now, that I had changed the saturation and sharpness settings, maybe the camera will capture the sky in more detail.
Come to think of it, maybe I should "photoshop" this image. I am pretty decent (well, decent to good) when it comes to "photoshop"-ing but it wouldn't hurt to improve my editing skills, in addition to my photography skills (whatever I have anyway...) As mentioned earlier, even professional photographers use these softwares.
