My approach to photography is point and shoot. Here are the
3 main reasons why. This is subjective of course as there is no
right or wrong approaches in photography (anything goes in art)
1-my memory is lousy and for me to remember the WB, light and
color saturation 5 hours after a nature hike I will get it wrong,
I find the camera does a better job at these when it is well tuned
2-I have a bad habit of overcooking my work in pp, I tend to make
my work look pleasing to the eye (eye candy) and not necesaraly
to what the scene looked like, I find the jpeg engines with no pp
keeps things more tamed, natural and real looking
3-shooting jpeg with no pp keeps my photography skills
sharp in the field as there is not much room for error

Your image is a bit flat, but maybe you dont care about that...
So I guess what your saying is this vertical ledge has collected all these maple seeds?
Your images are great, your conversions need a little more contrast though.
Thanks for your views on this ! You are right about the DSLR vs P&S.
I went the DSLR route because they are less noisy. You will find some
of my images will be on the flat side. I set my in-camera contrast setting
a little lower than most.
By doing this it opens up the sensor and I get more tones which I favor
in my work. I thought the seeds were an intersting subject as one strong
gust of wind in the right direction and that moment in time would be
gone. Nature is so dynamic it is changing by the second !
