beSo what did you mean when you saidFloyd L. Davidson
"but most importantly I have a feeling your hardline choice of OS is your real problem, and it is distracting you from paying attention to improving your photography."
I meant what I said. By locking himself out of obvious and accessible solutions, including the one provided by Canon when he bought his 600D, because he refuses to consider the option of another OS, is going to be a distraction. He might be talented at subject selection, he might be a natural at composition, the RAW files he captures in his camera might
the equal of Adams, Steiglitz, Karsh, et al, but he still has aproblem,
mostly due to his choice of OS.Has it ever occured to you that what motivates a non professional photographer is a set of various things, including curiosity ? Curiosity about the taken pictures and what you do with them, how to improve them etc... but also about the various processes that you will apply to them ? When I was a kid, I shot argentic pictures, and I recall that the chemical processing - which I carried out myself - was almost as pleasurable as the shooting. I used to try various chemical treatments so as to enforce contrasts, lights and shades etc... A lot of people said to me that I would have had better time having my films treated by a photograph, which was more simple, probably cheaper in the end and perhaps better, while, in the meantime, I would avoid getting bothered with toxic chemicals such as the SO2 breathing from potassium metabisulphite in the fixating agent, the hours of confinement inside the dark room etc...
