Quote - The boredom is in the final product. As in: would have been a heck of a lot faster and better with a camera. This, of course, is just my opinion. Photo-real can be impressive. I just find renders that concentrate on content leave a more lasting impression.
If I had a camera with me at the right place at the right time, then sure I wouldn't need to have set up the scene on a computer to render it. But part of photorealness is that one does not have all those real objects handy and the location to photograph them in. Fantasy scenes can be photoreal. It's rarely done though. Which is why we all go WOW! when we do see one posted on the world wide web.
