...to the point where careful composition and technique is overlooked in the field as something that "can be fixed in Photoshop". - or "can be eliminated and/or added in Photoshop. To the person who feels he/she can "create the perfect sunset/sunrise" in Photoshop - or place/remove the building that happens to be in their composition. To the Photoshop user who uses Photoshop to correct improper exposures (more exactly, to the photographer who no longer is concerned with proper exposure - thinking that exposure can be corrected in Photoshop). For every example of Ansel Adams, etc. (don't get me wrong - I have every respect for these masters...they were not attempting to create or eliminate something that wasn't in front of their cameras) - there are the John Shaws, Galen Rowels, Art Wolfs - working entirely with transparencies eliminating them from the manipulations available to the B&W printer. Control is the issue - and Photoshop has made the lack of photographic control (and I'm talking about PHOTOGRAPHIC control) less and less important. Five years ago, the studio photographer would be concerned about dust particles on a small product shoot - now they let it ride and say "I can touch that out in Photoshop". Photoshop is a powerful tool - and I have no problem with the use of it to produce a desired image - it's when it becomes a crutch and a bandaid for poor photography that gets my goat. I seriously doubt that Ansel Adams would take less care in the initial exposure of his images had he had Photoshop at his disposal - my gripe is with people who take it for granted. I'm not impressed with mediocre images posted along with a followup of "see how much better I made it" - make it in the original exposure! I will, however, grant you this - it IS time for another beer!
