The art is in the finish: variations of a lighter.

Obviously I'm into photography now. I really approached this craft from the wrong angle; before I learned about aperture and ISO I was already an adept image editor, so my early experiments with my lovely Nikon have been rather casual. "I'll fix it in post."

I'm trying to develop more affinity with my tool (har har), trying to get better results straight out of the camera -- although the creativity of careful, meticulous post-processing is still a tremendous delight. Case in point: one pic of a lighter on a table under the fluorescent light of the smoker's corner in the company's basement car park, shot on an iPhone 4, processed six different ways with Camera+ and sextyched with Diptic.
