I use ADL with my D300 at low at the moment because I'm very new with this camera, but I think the best argument for using it in the cam is that I want to make the best shots OOC.
Why should I use Caputure NX2 when I am able to get the same results directly without any further work on my pictures? If you shoot a lot you will know what I mean


With all due respect..... I shoot a lot and I don't know what you mean. If you have ever shot Chromes, don't you rememeber how many got thrown in the trash or had to be preflashed in dupes or before they were shot to lower the contrast?

Pete Turner never got all that worked up about getting it right in the camera all the time... but he produced some spectacular shots in the duping machine... and he got published ALOT. Still does.

Ansel didn't produce his best work in the camera... he did it in the dark room using every trick in the book and some he made up... this argument goes on and on. Be a good technician, yes! But tools are tools to be used... during or after to produce your vision... whatever that vision is.



I take the Bryan Peterson approach, and that is "Get it right in the camera and spend more time taking pictures or spending it with family." I shoot a lot too and I do know what he means.
