The Power of RAW and Tonal Control Approach
and, in the afternoon, a joint online post-processing with a total thirty-three.
The scope was to achieve a technically correct exposure so to open the file
later in a converter and use the tonal control approach's essential tools.
No added contrast, nor saturation, nor vibrance, nor sharpness, nor editing
were used… only the necessary tonal control tweaks.
Light is free… capturing it is not!

The many bad habits of shooters come from not thinking through
and / or swallowing up everything they see on the internet.
The play between shadows and light makes an interesting image
not just the plain documentation supported by a front light on the
subject. The STTR recommendation is turned into an absolute rule
and not considered as tool to use in given situation.
Many others bad habits in post production are hard to get rid of.
Like the systematic use of added contrast, saturation, vibrance, and
sharpening even before setting the DRL.
TY Peter!
