You've quoted me out of context Doug, the first thing I said I'd do is a quick slide show and label red anything requiring adjustment and then filter on this to select those that did need it. In the case shown your original clearly did not need editing.
On re-reading I agree.
My original challenge though, was for the post production to require zero effort with editing only to consist of the first part you describe without need for further filtering to 'fix' failures
BTW I couldn't always shoot like this and in the film days I would shoot negative for the latitude using far less forgiving slide film only when the luxury of a light meter was available.
In the early days of digital I used the 'take a shot take a look technique'
(The adjustments that you are undertaking after the shoot were at that time performed by the minilab operator producing my proofs)
It is only in the last couple of years that I have become really comfortable with getting it right in camera even when using flash and wondered if anyone else had achieved the same level of confidence.

I also believe that the technique I described with the camera would produce suitable results on the D3s, on my D200 I'd not push the ISO so far. You have produced some great images, but I believe what I described would also have got some good images, and I am a firm believer in KISS.
KISS is fine, but I believe that leaving with complete and final images on the card is simpler than even minor corrections later

I'm not a pro and have never taken a paying photo gig in my life, but having been drawn into your thread because you seemed to wish for a reply I have to say the Mum with camera response is a little hurtful.I'm not sure why this was hurtful. Do you fit the criteria?

Having said that one mum with camera that I know is a full time photographer for the SMH, and very well published and awarded so I guess it would depend on the mum.Agreed. I know several good photographers who are Mum's, but they are not MWACs. An MWAC is not burdened by the need to make a profit or the understanding of what it means to undermine someone else's livelihood.
