Nowadays, a lot of people using Dslr cameras and a lot of them using it just for nothing. For me photography is not just a hobby, for me it is a medium for you to be able express your imagination via pictures. As my observation a lot of photographers think that "if you want to be a good photographer you must good in editing", I understand editing is important in terms of photography because even me I do editing but what my point is some people use it every time even the picture is non-sense and the other people says beautiful without any criticism in terms of the story of a certain picture.
So what i want to say is if you want to take pictures think first, if there is a story behind that or nothing? and even without editing the people will appreciate it?
The Bottom line here is don't be dependent in to your editing materials, be independent for you to be able to discover your own style and then editing is for enhancement.
It is only my opinion guys:)
