Post Processing??

So I was asked an interesting question by Vic about how much post processing should go into the picture. At first I thought he was referring to photoshopping different colors and light levels and what not. To answer that initial thought, anything is allowed. Basically anything photoshop can do you're allowed to modify your picture to your heart's content. Keep in mind though, the idea behind this group is to be able to take good pictures so that you minimize post processing. Do try to keep that in mind when framing your shots. The more time spent in the field taking a good shot, the less time you spend in front of a computer trying to figure out how to make that picture look better.

Now Vic replied back with an interesting concept he had for the first challenge. He wants to make one photograph out of 24 different photographs. I think this idea is really good. However, I think we should make the group's focus on taking 1 good picture and less about post processing. Initially 1 photograph for every challenge. Eventually do what you want.

I'll get to post processing in further posts and provide some suggestions for what to do. Things like B/W conversion, HDR, etc... Feel free to do so.
