[QUOTE="Scott Murray, post: 222277, member: 9753"] I think we should be asking another question, its not regarding the 'truth' in photography as once something is recorded there no longer can be 100% truth. Its more involving what is photography. And there are a few examples. [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][B]photography[/B][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial] [B]1. [/B]The art or process of producing images of objects on photosensitive surfaces. [B]2. [/B]The art, practice, or occupation of taking and printing photographs. [B]3. [/B]A body of photographs. [/FONT][/COLOR] 2 out of the 3 examples above state one obvious thing 'The Art', so then we should delve into what is art, and hopefully we all know it can be many a thing in many a medium. I do not agree with all 'art' but it is art for arts sake. When we get into photoshopping etc this is another 'digital' form of an artists brush and we can all choose which brush we like. I have known abstract artists and I still think of them as loons, as I regard myself as a photographic artist, and this was way before I picked up a camera as I liked and still like to portray my work/photos/paintings/drawings/ to as realistic as possible. Yes I enhance things to enhance things but why not? Its like adding a bit of extra glow into the sunset painting to stand out, oh and do not forget to use 100% black on the palm silhouettes. The way I see it is photography is a lazy person brush and easel and it does not involve mixing colours on a palette and then applying them to canvas etc. Photography especially digital photography gives you so much more freedom to express yourself and how you have seen a certain scene.
