Russell, some of the things you mention are beyond the knowledge of some folk(me).
We are not so technical. I guess I could learn it if I really wanted to but like many I rely on sympathetic editing. I will crop pictures, and sometimes straighten them......because doing this improves the composition slightly. I don't look at this as cheating, because it is still me being creative.

Straightening and cropping is not cheating Margaret. I do it with many hastily taken shots but I don't like seeing photos which have been enchanced so much they look false.
I'm no professional although I've made a few bob with weddings and magazines but I do like to try to use the camera settings in manual to improve my skills.
I've some very good and expensive gear but I've seen photos taken with phones which are just as good sometimes.
Oh, East Lancs trip is off today unfortunately.
