Tweaking
I was an early convert to digital photography, although originally more for convenience than for the quality of the result. The technologies have advanced rapidly and few people would now claim that digital pictures are intrinsically inferior to pictures captured on traditional film. I have used a Canon 5D digital single lens reflex camera for all the pictures in this collection, almost always on a tripod and often with the aid of a graduated neutral density filter.
A common myth associated with digital photography is that it is easy to cheat, and so there is something artificial about digital pictures. It is true that practically all my pictures, as RAW files, benefit from a little tweaking in Adobe Lightroom and then sometimes (increasingly rarely) in Photoshop. But even Lightroom and Photoshop cannot achieve miracles and the mark of a heavy hand will soon become all too obvious.
Tweaking usually means some fine adjustments to better match the exposure of the land and sky, strengthening the contrast, bringing up some highlights in a dark corner or adjusting the 'temperature' to warm the picture up a little. I don’t believe the serious digital photographer does anything fundamentally different on his computer from what the traditional film photographer has done for years in his darkroom.
