[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 221264, member: 13090"] This I wholeheartedly agree with. If you use a technique, focus stacking, HDR, et al, why would you not want to be forthcoming about that? Concealing the truth, to my way of thinking, is just as much a lie a telling something other than the absolute truth. Now, if someone thinks using certain techniques, digital or otherwise, is somehow "less pure" than SOOC, I think that says more about the person holding the opinion than anything else. Go forth... Actuate and create as you wish and be willing to share what you've learned about new techniques for the betterment of all. This whole "looking down your nose" at those who avail themselves of the tools current technology provides is a display of the worst form of elitism and does nothing but (attempt to) stagnate the art form... Go inflate your ego somewhere else. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
