[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 179982, member: 15805"] If this is what I wanted to create: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/IllusionPost.jpg~original[/IMG] I will utilize any and all tools available to me to make it. I spent about [B]2 hours [/B]walking this spot, looking for the shot I envisioned. I should not be required to accept what the camera recorded, which is this: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/IllusionOriginal.jpg~original[/IMG] I'm not inclined to create an image that says, "If you go stand in the same place I took this shot at the same time of day and look south, this is exactly what you'll see.....". I didn't intend this image to be a documentation of reality. I intended it to look like what I wanted to create. Yes, I agree there are times & places & instances where certain aspects of post editing should not be allowed (photojournalism, forensic, medical & criminal work, advertising, etc.). But take a look at the building you're in right now, whether it's your own home or you're at work in the office.
