Post processing and "unoriginal"
What's your take on the idea of photos that have been post processed being unoriginal?
I run through all selected photos through GIMP, adjust levels but no more than 10%, run an unsharp mask (amount 0.5, threshold 0) and a 2:3 crop for printing.
Now I don't think that affects the originality of my photos, and I still call the product "Photography". But one of my friend said that what I'm doing is not called photography, and everything is photoshoped so it doesn't count. Which I'm upset about.
Would you still call what I do photography and my photos original?
