Point and shoot only!

i suggested this a while ago and got slaughterd by everyone, even you nick  :rolleyes:

Well I bowed down to general consensus. Also this is Dub related whereas the earlier suggestions were just for pictures of anything.

As for a bias towards PS then I would hope not but there's just no pleasing some people!

It's not cheating but I'm not going to get into an arguement over it. If the rules said no photoshop people would complain as well.

But to do what? And how much is a little?

If you cant take a decent shot without then resorting to trickery then its not art!

Bull and sh!t.

You think those shots you see from the 60's and 70's havent been manipulated? The difference is in those days they used different chemicals,little tools, multiple exposures on one film, fliters on lenses etc etc. Photoshop does very little that you couldn't do before only you need a pc/mac and not a fapping great darkroom.

It's not trickery it's a tool like the darkroom was before it. I said above photoshop can't fix bad composition or stuff being out focus, that is down to the person in control of the camera. What it can do is pep up colours from a flat day and add a few effects. Big deal.

I mainly use PS to sharpen up images, I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Is anyone going to post a picture?  :grin:
