Those Who Squirm

Nikkor 50mm F/8.0 1/200" ISO 400,

D5600 body,

And a bit of post-processing.

Professional photographers (FTR I am not ons) say that setting up the camera and capturing the image is only the first step. Editing and post-processing, or whatever you want to call it, is the next step and it's usually essential. In the old days, this step was done in the darkroom and involved various techniques for diminishing or increasing the amount of light allowed to reach the different areas of the photographic paper. Even today, there still are photographers who work primarily with film and paper, and the terminology of the darkroom has carried over to the world of computer-based editing.

Look at it this way: Any image, whether photographed, drawn, or painted, may properly capture the subject yet still fail to properly record the experience of *seeing* it, because even today the most expensive pro level camera cannot match your eyes' ability to rapidly adjust its aperture and focus as you look around at different points of a view. There's also the ability of the human eye to compensate for the constraints of perspective. This is why a snapshot of an interesting tall building across the street utterly fails to recreate your experience of seeing the building in person.
