Yeah, editing does deserve as much right, I was just saying my opinion before on how my style is not editing



I agree that art is art, there is no right or wrong. I've seen a lot of sayings like "my photos, my rules" ... meaning there's no right/wrong way to do photography or art for that matter.



Yeah, I realize it is hard to explain haha it's also hard to explain without giving the wrong impression.

Yeah I guess you are right ^^
Though I do usually try to keep an open mind but sometimes I am just too stubborn to embrace certain things lol Well nobody is perfect, right?

well its kind of like how some people dont like your hair a certain way, too long too short too weird too crazy,you can judge them with whatever right you think you have and it might make an impact on what they think or they might not give a rats poop, you cant make everyone happy, but i think people should do what they think looks good or is right not what other people think.

to me i like to see all the things in front of me, even if i decide that i only believe one way i still am aware of all of the things that arent what i believe in.

if i see something that isnt what i would support i still think its cool because maybe something will spark and i would start to.

i know a lot of people that say negative things about it and then after time they jump on the band wagon like nothing is wrong.

sorry this topic is really hard for me to explain since theres so many views.

Well I think a lot of serious photographers and hobbyists usually avoid to over editing their photos. I have even heard some of those so called pros say that digital photography and photoshop have totally ruined photography lol but that sounds really extreme though ^^

depends on your taste.

also ive seen tons of people make crappy p&s quality photos into ones that are as good or better than dsl.
so there are a lot of pros and cons, it just all depends on how you see it.

its because you can do just as good with less effort and faster.
but i think at the same time editing takes practice too, but compared to some things its easier to pick up.

Photography (pronounced /fәˈtɒɡrәfi/[1]) (from Greek φωτο and γραφία) is the process, activity and art of creating still or moving pictures by recording radiation on a sensitive medium, such as a film, or an electronic sensor.

Ok, I hope you won't think I am rude or being snippy or whatever but if you look for the word photography in a dictionary or an encyclopedia you would find something like this:

in this case from Wikipedia.


so by adding effects or whatever which would produce results that are waay different than the captured image that kind of post processing should NOT be called photographs but instead be called graphic art. I am not saying graphic art or computer generated image are not art or inferior to photographs in fact I do admit that some of the images I have seen in the graphic art forum are actually more beautiful than most of the photos I have seen.
