@ Major_Small and @dakwegmo - I am very much in agreement with you both. In this digital age or rather any age, photography has never been in it's strictest form. There is always some amount of post processing involved.
An example me and my friend were discussing on was
He: An image of earth is converted to an image of mars in PS.. is that a photograph any longer?
Me: No. But what if am image of an earth is taken and adjusted the sharpness, contrast, colors, so that the blue, green, etc etc. pops out to make the original photo look more interesting.
To me it is still a photograph.. So he asked "where do you draw the line"?
I think once the photo loses it's original meaning or content (earth turning into mars) I would say it has crossed the line.
I doubt photography in its truest form exists, unless you are at the perfect place, at perfect time, with perfect setting...
I hope more members reply and express their opinion on this...
