Ansel Adams was looking backwards through the negatives! Actually, Adams did so much post-processing that I consider him more artist than photographer. Nice images but but I regard straight-out-of-camera images higher.

This shot, other than the crop, the horizontal flip, and (I'll admit) photoshopping out a handicap parking sign on the far wall, is straight out of camera. I wish I had a tripod with me so I could have shot it at ISO100. It was an entertaining exercise to walk all around the car looking for good reflections of the sign in every body space.

Great shot! I miss saturday nights at Bob's. I remember years back someone showed up in a super comp dragster with a police escort :shock:
And just my opinion, but photojournalists should only be the ones concerned with "straight-out-of-camera images". Photographers/Artists should use all the tools available to create their vision and to never be limited. Embrace Photoshop people!

Very Nice!

Use Noise Reduction on "grainy" night shots of cars ... makes the body panels very clean and slick.

Looking forward to seeing my tenant's '65 Cobra ... supposedly finished being restored in a couple of months
