Nothing wrong with digital correction. I developed my own films, printed my own images, used special filters long enough to know that all serious photographers used darkroom techniques to enhance their images, long before digital techniques were available. Even the lenses you use are already an initial 'correction' to the world as you see it. The same goes for flashlight... the choice of cropping you do... etc. And if photography is 'painting with light' as it is often referred to, how can you expect all of that light to be represented in your photographs anyway? We just have to take it for granted that photography has very little to do with reality... My father always says: 'a picture can never be as beautiful as reality'... that's because he wants to capture the beautiful reality that he sees before him. And he's always frustrated with the results he gets LOL. I always reply that a photograph and reality are two separate things, that both have their own beauty... and a photograph can be just as beautiful as reality can be. As long as you treat them as two separate things... I hope this makes some sense to some of you (LOL) Again, a very interesting late night thought, Tom. You always come up with something heh.

We do not see things as they are. ǝɹɐ ǝʍ sɐ sƃuıɥʇ ǝǝs ǝʍ
