I Have What May Be A Stupid Question. EF, RF, EF-S, RF-S

I have what some may find to be a stupid question, but what exactly is aWispy Clouds. S lens? (EF-S, RF-S) What is different about them and in what circumstance would I want one over a EF or RF lens? Thank you very much for your time.

OK, I will step in to it one bit further. Canon cameras at least some or most of them have a Picture Style setting.. My recommendation is to set it to "Standard".  Again it's not for me to to say if you get what please you that's all that is important.

"I can't see stuff well in Photoshop so I don't use it much."

Hmm surprising because PS and LR have the exact same settings possible. Your best friend in PS is Curves or Levels. Curves is a bit more capable then Levels. Keep shooting.

Thank you very much. I THINK I keep it mostly at landscape, I am getting pretty tired though and may have that wrong. If I am even thinking of the right thing, I know it says standard, just am to tired to remember where at this time. I never knew you replied by the way, very sorry about that.

Dad was a wise man. Thank you.

People all too often don't want to hear critique--even if they ask for it--but where I lose patience is when someone represents something as garish as a Thomas Kinkade painting as an image SOOC.

As a working photographer with 45 years of experience in the field, for my own creations I really like grain/noise, so I shoot to get it. If I display a result in a group, I preface the commentary with what I was going for, but that never stops the know-betters from chiming in anyway.

Just wanted to let you know that yes we were speaking of the same thing and I have been keeping it at landscape. I have switched it to standard for now and will see if I like it more. Thank you for the advise.

Like LeeP stated it is and does come down to what you as the photographer want and like. It is not my place to say different. I used to sell my work, I am retired now, so I tried to do what other people like and want. It's a different mind set. Please ignore my comment and do as you like and suits your taste.

I understand what you mean in part about what other people like, I like taking pictures of waterfalls but I do not like that ribbon effect very often, I think it looks fake and like it is overdone to an extreme amount, I prefer to show the power in the falls like in this shot. Not my best but it shows what I mean. I do not mind a ribbon on a weaker falls like this.
