Enjoyed seeing what this photographer does with a Point and Shoot camera. Post processing and artistic vision enable her to create some inspiring work! |

Yes, glorious images!
I love her quote: "it’s not the camera—it’s who’s behind it. If you have a passion for photography you’re not limited by your gear, only your creativity".

Helen,
thank you for sharing this; I had read this article prior to you posting this and thought how inspiring this is. It goes to show that you can have the best gear in the world, but without an eye for composition and a feeling for light you are nothing.

Helen, thanks so much for posting this! There are people who frown upon those who use a P&S camera. She proves that you don't need a $$$ camera and a bag full of $$$ lenses to be a photographer. Her work is inspiring. Kudos to her!

Thanks Helen for providing some post-processing inspiration. I want to revisit some old photos and see what I can make of them.

I always look at the workflow for a photo starting with finding the spot. Then taking the image. Then on to post-processing. And finally the print. As she stated in the article - she can spend from 20 min. to all day working in post-processing. There is a lot that can be done in post-processing that will take an average photo and turn it into a "jaw-dropper". In a recent trip to American Samoa National Park I had both my Nikon D7100 and Olympus TG4. Both did great for what I wanted them for. But when it came to processing the images - the D7100 images were easier to work with especially if I wanted to crop and resize. A better lens and 24 vs 16 megapixels can make a difference in the end.
I have a friend that thought its just wrong to process a photo so much. And then I referred him to an article on Ansel Adams and how much time he spent in the darkroom working on his images. It all comes down to "getting the image in your mind" before you shoot and then to process it to that "image".
She has done a great job in processing her images.

Thanks for this Helen - some good stuff.
Her concept/vision is very similar to Julia Anna Gospodarous's Photography Drawing which is essentially the same thing ie manipulate a base image to create what you want
