Quote - A question: I have a fairly good idea where photography ends and where photomanipulation begins, but how is that seen here on the forum/in the gallery?
For me, the digital equivalent of everything that you can theoretically do with a negative in a darkroom, or with a set of identical "tripodded" negatives is photography.
I agree. Except that in my case, I'd paraphrase it to:
"everything that you could have done to the picture with your camera if you knew how to use it properly in the first place" ;-)
Seriously, for me, all changes limited to contrast, hue, saturation, focus improvement, etc - are photography. Everything beyond that is manipulation.
