You may have wondered what's the difference between the Canon 580EX II speedlight and the YN 568EX II speedlight by Yongnuo. The short answer is not as much [difference] as you might think.

I once read that professional photographers spend about 20% of their time shooting and 80% editing pictures. When I got back into photography, it was because I loved shooting. I still love shooting. When I am making pictures I feel as if I'm in my element. I could shoot for days. But after all that shooting comes post production.

There use to be a time when people would say, "Pictures don't lie". That time is gone. Pictures lie their ass off - or at least the model's ass off, if that's what she desires. There's nothing wrong with enhancing a photo to match how you feel inside or to show how you'd like to look.
Camera equipment, also known as camera gear, does not make good pictures. People make good pictures. Expensive camera gear simply enhances images for creative effect.
