I come across this argument in a local street photography forum "Edit or no edit"
"If you
post process, it doesn't mean that you haven't learned the equipment or your
style. In fact some who post process know their equipment intimately knowing
very well the bounds of the tools available to them.
Also, post
processing predates digital by a long way. Are those who dodged and burned in
the darkroom not real photographers, or photographers with extra skill sets?
If you
take what you can get out of in camera jpeg as a strict constraint, that means
that you have accepted the choices your camera's engineers made for
prioritising highlights, shadows, saturation etc. Even if you're a 100% manual
shooter, you have accepted that you're going to let the camera make a lot of
decisions on processing for you.
If you
shoot raw and post process, you are no less of a photographer because of it. If
you choose an in camera preset or film sim, again you have accepted someone
else's choices for final processing.
If you
have files from 2008 in low light, they look noisy because digital cameras
sucked at low light in 2008. If you feed those old photos into software in 2023
that can recognise sensor noise and correct it with a high degree of accuracy,
it doesn't mean that you didn't know how to use a camera in 2008. You may have
just accepted noise as a trade-off for a reasonable exposure.
If you
have a camera released this year and push iso in a difficult situation to get
the shot rather than not, knowing that software in 2023 can correct sensor
noise really well, it doesn't mean that you didn't learn your equipment. It
could just mean that you know enough to get the shot rather than not."

I attempted 135mm fixed focal length to do a trial candid shoot in street. Quite a different perspective. The folks in camera club often told me not to use telephoto lenses in street photography.

I used to love sharp images. As I grow older, I don't mind motion blur that much anymore. After all, I don't sell the photos anyway.
