As much as I love post-processing and how it allows me to create anything I can imagine, sometimes I want to be sure that it's not just smoke and mirrors. To see or not to see, at times that is the question. Every now and then I dare myself to just take a good picture. I will humbly step aside and let the intimate dance of light and shadow do the work. No tricks or varnish. These are pretty much SOOC. Study #4 and #5 were taken with an iPhone the others were taken with my Nikon crop sensor D7000.
