ello Ross i took the time to look at your work thier just simply stunning, it's too bad i shy away from PS coz of the laborrous work you have to put in just to get that look you want. I have dozens of ebooks & tutorials for PS but didn't have the motivation to try them out, well maybe a few times but everytime i do I say to myself - this is too much work! well i guess no pain no gain eiy :Grin:

anyways i'll still give it try. I hope i get motivated here. thanks. :)

Hi Willy,

Not necessarily PS. I have a student who tinker with photopaint, it's a software i think that's bundled with PC's. And she creates outstanding DFA images. Even if a photographer doesnt have PS, he can still do creative outputs out of his camera...i believed an artist behind the camera can do wonders even without the photoshop, you just have to explore and find your style...:)

PS or any other PP softwares are not really necessary to create DFA... However, they do help in a great extent if used sparingly or laboriously if the piece needs all that saturation :) As Ross, said... Creative-exploration is the key... A good thing and often times enthusiasts or hobbyists take for granted and sometimes even professionals... is too really get to know your equipment well... Knowing it's strengths and weakness can help you in your compositions... getting that Fine-Art straight out of the cam. even without heavy post processing or pixel surgery... It's all about playing with light... :)
