Photographing a Tranquil Japanese Garden + Let's Talk Photo-Editing

[@deborahwarren4756]

Beautiful gardens! Thanks Misty for showing us this wonderful place! I am in the early learning process of using Lightroom Classic to edit my pictures, so I am a ways away from advancing to Photoshop. Don’t let others opinion about the editing process (or lack of it) influence you. Your pictures are awesome!

Thanks so much, Deborah, I’m glad you enjoyed the adventure! Photoshop isn’t too bad once you get the hang of the basics. But I’m sure you’re enjoying Lightroom! 😊

Looks like a nice garden. I never would have thought there would be a Japanese garden in Idaho.

[@lovethatshotadventures]

It was definitely a pleasant surprise stumbling across this little gem.

@@lovethatshotadventures What you said about editing is a real topic of interest for me. So is the whole issue of who is a real photographer and who is not. Some of it is a lot of nonsense, but the topic can be explored and discussed, to some good. Thanks for your voiced opinion.

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by what I’ve been able to find in my local area. These little gems have been super fun to photograph!

I've seen the phrase: "Posting this SOC" (straight out of camera) used in a hoity toity manner also Misti. It's like that makes them a better photographer than you and me and us. Some folks are saying AI will eventually replace human photographers. I doubt that will ever happen, but it's hard to convince the naysayers otherwise. I use AI to HELP me express my creative vision, NOT create it. And I will on occasion and when needed use an ND filter or a polarizer for the same reasons.😎

[@lovethatshotadventures]

Like you, I don’t think AI will ever fully replace human photographers. I feel like after the initial “new-ness” wears off, it will eventually increase the demand for the authenticity only we humans can put into a photo. 😁
