Purists Beware

I just recently overheard a self-described “purist” photographer ranting on about how we’re all cheaters and that the photographic masters before us lacked our current luxury–even desire–to “customize” (read: manipulate/photoshop) images. It was “…all about the the composition, a beautiful subject, and a properly exposed picture”.

I call horse-pucky.

    Good post. I study something more challenging on completely different blogs everyday. It would all the time be stimulating to learn content from other writers and follow a little bit something from their store. I’d favor to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll offer you a link on your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.
