This.
It is entirely my opinion and my belief regarding photography and photographers.
the problem being, the preofessional photgraphers you seem to refer to dont actually exist.

Well if the photographer got the exposure right in the first place then there wount be anything to do - just convert the RAW file to the format you want and your done.
As above.

I'll give you an example of the point im making:
A good pianoist/drummer/bass player/violinist knows how to play the instrument and will achieve what he/she wants with his/her knowledge and experience.
The flipside of this is that someone who cant play the instruments as well will resort to studio techniques using software packages to achieve the same affect (or near as).
As a side note; I take it the 10-20 you use with your Sony is a true representation of what you see. Equally the 50mm 1.4 with its shallow DOF and crazy bokeh ... again a true representation?
Is it worth me asking about filters again?
Your example is completely flawed. When you play an instrument you can hear the sound output straight away. When you take a digital photograph you HAVE to extract the output from the digital file.
If you extract the digital image without doing any PP then its the same is it not because your taking the image as is taken without adding or subtracting from it.
But you can't, that's what I'm trying to explain to you.

Why not?
I dont understand
I think with some reading up your opinion on this matter will change substantially
I'm not sure it will.
Panzer
It wount.
Then I bid you good day sir
My knowledge of photography is very very limited.
That much is evident.
I don't think you even understand what photography is. You've invented some imaginary, magical technique for capturing light in your head and named it 'photography'. In this world there is such thing as the perfect exposure and if you have the god given feature of having a light meter built into your retina then you will be the world's greatest 'photographer' (whatever that means because it certainly doesn't mean picking up a camera and taking a picture). You've totally lost the plot.
I wonder what photographers use to do before the invention of light meters and photoshop -they must have been rubbish.
