finaly someone with a brain! you will be a good photographer with that attitude.I think the same way.Every photograph that has been manipulated should be marked as digital art,not be called a photograph.I was telling my friend that we should get a pettition going to get people who manipulate images to change there proffesion names to artists,not photographers,

If you are doing reportage or photojournalism, then the photograph should be presented as much as possible as the camera saw it. Outside of that, the only thing that really matters is the final result and the impact that final result has on the viewer. If you use Photoshop, or a view camera, or a gradient filter, so be it.

@wildlite LOL, I dont like the way you said it, but what you said is true.
As the same time, I understand what's he's saying. he's saying, when you are doing reportage photography, you want to present the photo as the camera saw it.

Awesome! Manipulated pictures are like a woman with too much makeup and plastic surgery ...it's compensating, it's the type of picture that attracts the eye temporarily but you quickly forget. I am convinced without a doubt that we should aim at taking pictures that do NOT need ANY manipulation except for a very slight curves adjustment or burn MAYBE. These ones are memorable...if you are good enough to take them that is.

Pah - All your photos are manipulated by you you old bitter bastard. Set up, manipuated by lens, crop,etc then printed heavily. Go shut up and stop being bitter. What your saying is disrespectful for those who use the medium in their own true sense.

@donttrustany1 Exacly, reality is reality and all a camera does is capture it. You only say its art because humans have emotions and a photography can spark emotion but still its reality! Get found looser becasue your'e definitley lost!!

@JOSUE5401 No YOU'RE wrong. Photography is without doubt art.
Reality is reality. Photography as painting(for an example) is a representation of reality.
Get lost idiot.

@jgda9rs The good grade is a great thing. He still acknowledges the uses of digital photography. At the end of the day, it's the image, no matter how you got there.
