I lied. We're slightly active. Not much more active as before though.

There is nothing wrong with post processing, [...]

For the purists here I'll explain why.

When a photographer goes on to post process an image he is also moving onto another level, to point a camera at a subject and to take an image is the easy part of being a photographer.

When though that photographer looks at his image and then goes on to see what he can make of it makes him an artist.

Just because we use the computer and digital imagery does not make us any different to someone that uses paint and canvas, we can just process a little quicker.

we still though have to consider the subject, the tones, the light, the foreground, the background, the focus and a host of other things in which to get to a finished image.

Never be ashamed of your editing skills, embrace then[sic]
