Holy Moly that is funny!

Absolutely! I don't understand people who think that the photos should be perfect straight out of the camera. It's just not happening most of the time.

The way I look at it... haters hate because they want what you have.

I don't have any haters, but I do have a few stalkers last I checked.

I so feel your pain. This is the story of me and my sister, except for a couple of details. She constantly has to one up me or counter everything that I do or say. It drives me crazy. And her work is okay, just blah. Very under exposed and very very poorly processed. AND she also refused to come to DPS to get some feedback and advice.
She really pissed me off last week when I wrote an article on my blog about post processing. She wrote up this big counter arguement saying that "manipulating photos like this means that you are not a real photographer." Oh that just chapped my rear end. PM me and I will send you the links if you want to read it for yourself. It is crazy.
But yes, I totally understand how you feel.

My husband thinks the same of post processing.. that a "real photographer" should just take pictures good enough to not need it and that I'm just wasting my time in Photoshop and/or lightroom. bullshit.. lol.

Just tell these folks that post processing is nothing new in photography, and has been going on since the beginning of time. In the days of film, manipulating the image was done all the time whether at the lab level, or in the home darkroom. Chemicals used, push processing, dodging, burning, toning, paper choice, film ASA used...all played a part in the final print. The only thing is that most people brought their roll of film to the local drug store for processing and had no idea of what happened in the lab. And take a look at some of your old film / slide pictures..I'd bet many of them look like crap compared to today's digital image with some PP done to it!

I have several haters... but I just laugh it off because I know they only hate me for being better than them...

hahahaha,, I was an expert black & white printer. Do I miss the darkroom work....nope! But, you're most certainly right about the slides. I've rescanned the best and run them through photoshop.

Yeah Jim, it's scarry when you see some of those old photos and slides! But, for the most part, we mostly shot Fuji 400ASA which was pretty grainy to start with

I used Kodachrome 25, 64 and 200. Later on I switched to the Fuji brands too.I used to push that Fuji 400 to 800 and sometimes 1600. Talk about grain.
