I find filters very interesting to work with.. but I also find myself shooting to apply filters later… As in I shoot knowing what I will do with it in post.. I am thinking this is not as good of an approach as to shoot for proper exposure and light and then not fix it later in post… the "knowing I can fix it" issue with photography these days..
Maybe I will call it laziness…. it has to be best to start with a perfectly exposed image… then tweak.. but the question is.. if I shot a perfect image would I get the same or better results? Or the same results at all?

Finding a photographer is intimidating. And harder than it should be. Photographers need customers. No matter how experienced a photographer is, there never seems to be enough time to focus on getting new customers.
