• I always try to do stuff "first time" i.e. without any post-processing (takes too much time that I don't have)

    I would really recommend learning to process your images, it doesn't take very long.
    Some situations are impossible for your camera to get right - eg high contrast.

    I didn't say I never post-process my images, I just say I try not to... I think if you go out with the idea in your head that "I can take whatever, I'll just post-process it when I get home" you will have a lot harder time than if you go out with the intention of taking a good image first time.

    But yeah, you're right, I should probably invest a bit more time in trying to learn some techniques. As I said already, though, I don't have very much time - and have I do a huge backlog of photos.

  • I don't get this "purist" view on photography. Post processing will never make a shit photo good, but it can make a good photo great.

  • "I can take whatever, I'll just post-process it when I get home"

    Literally nobody thinks this way
