A few years ago I used to run every photograph through Lightroom. I thought that's what serious photographers are supposed to do. All the expert YouTubers made and sold Lightroom presets.

I would spend hours pissing around with sliders, not realising that 90% of my efforts were making my images look more artificial. So many perfectly fine photos ruined.

Now pretty much all the images I share are straight out of the camera. Sometimes I'll do a quick crop/fix in Snapseed but that's it.
