wah lau, your photos really powderful! it's not just by luck 1 or 2 nice shots, i would say nearly every single pic posted here is really good ah!

very educational too cos you explained some of the processes... 偶像!!!

one question (even though asked many times before in this forum): is it true that every single picture must do some PP so that it would look better? or can i ask if any of these pics didn't go through any PP? cos they all look damn good..

Thank you so much for dropping by. I am glad that you like the photos, i really appreciate that. Yes, you are right, all the photos i edited them using Photoshop CS 2, to make them look nicer and more unique. Actually the pp that i did for the photos is brightness and contrast (to make them looks more contrast / hard or softer), color balance (to achive / enhancing some kind of color tuning), curve (to make increase their dynamic range), exposure and level (to correct the exposure become more precise to what i want, wheter to make it is as a normal exposure, abit over expose or abit under exposure), etc. The rest will be ajusting the framing, say like cropping the photo (to cut some part of the edge that i dont want it), rotating to get the exactly horison frame of the object (if the object is abit tilting compare to the frame), lens correction (angle distortion) to strighten the perspective so i can get the more vertically object rather thant tilted / distorted object) etc. For myself, pp is okay and it just like an option wheter we want to do it or not to our photos. PP (editing) will help us to enhance the photos and to get the some effects (color, brightness, contrast, etc) that we want, as long it won't manipulate " The Big Idea of The Existing / Original Photo" (say like adding a new object from other photo/ file to that frame).

thanks for the reply and listing out the types of editing you do. i'm a newbie to DSLR, last time all my photos from mobile or compact cameras all never do PP before. have used photoshop for web design years ago but now it's like i have so many photos, and one photo can take me really long to PP...

if you don't mind, may i ask how long do you spend on PP for 1 photo on average or generally? cos i can adjust adjust, change here change there, undo everything, cannot make up my mind whether enough PP is done or whether i've made it worse!
 

to kazu11 :
Thank you for dropping me a message. Usually i do the PP (post processing / editing) is about 20-30 minutes for each photo. Dont worry if you feel that you spending to much time for doing PP, take it as a part of the process, a part of your exploration also, soon you will get the editing that match with what you want and you will be faster and faster doing that kind of PP ;p
 

thanks for the advice again, look forward to your new pics!
