i would love to hear how everyone goes about the process of shooting and then to the final stage of uploading, and i would love to know their thoughts and feelings when they are taking a picture. i'm not interested very much in knowing what settings were used. Occasionally i am, but not generally. Carlos, you said, "It is time to look at the real photo artwork done with just a cam and be able to appreciate it knowing it is not a fake product achieved with any of the fashionable image software." I have much appreciation for artists who take exceptional photos with no or minimal postwork; however, i disagree that other images which have moderate/heavy postwork are "fake products." My opinion is that a creation is a creation...art is art...photography is photography...regardless of what technique was used. i just look at an image and appreciate it for what it is. For me personally, i don't put photos with postwork and without postwork in two separate categories. I don't consider one "real" and one "fake." just my opinion... i am not trying to persuade you to think differently, and i'm not saying i'm right and you're wrong. we're all entitled to our opinions. i just wanted to express mine.
