I will say this, the jump from landscapes and such to shooting people is big. Very big. |

He DID say a lot of people couldn't do half that good after years of shooting. So THAT was encouraging at least. |

I have enormous respect for photographers and photography as an art form.
But I buy it for commercial use. I've spent far too much of my life on photo shots for everything from hazardous waste sites to ice cream cones and I agree with Yamma. Photoshop is an aid, not a means to an end. And on a personal level might I add that shooting in HDR doesn't make you a better photographer, it just makes thing look stupid. |

Photos used to MEAN something. There was thought and composition and care and lighting - worry over backgrounds and depth of field considerations. If you planned for retouch, you thought it out very carefully because it was hard to do and the really good ones like Raphael in Houston made a fortune. Now photos are completely artificial - Photoshop is Autotune for the eyes. Don't understand f-stops? No biggie fix it in Photoshop. Can't bother with the right lens to get the depth of field right? No biggie shoot a couple of images for foreground and background and merge them. Can't light something? No problem 'chop it. If you're relying on Photoshop to make up for what you can't do in the camera don't call yourself a Photographer - you're an digital illustrator. |

Seriously, you should ALWAYS try to get the best shot you can BEFORE dumping it into PS. Regardless, it's just a tool. But this: Quote:

I've always thought that coming up with a pretty good photo was some kind of an equation of how talented you were and how many photos you took. Almost anyone can come up with a good photo if they take enough of them. That's the best thing about digital cameras. It allows the ameteur to take hundreds of photos without the expense of film.
Someone like me coming up with some good shots with a digital camera after taking hundreds of shots is completely different than me standing on the sidelines at a football game in 1968 with a Honeywell Pentax 35mm and getting a great shot when I could only afford to bring one roll of film with me. In four years of high school, I managed once to get that shot of the wide reciever leaping in the air for the ball that was six inches from his fingertips. With a digital camera, I might get a shot like that at every game. |

The first digital retouching I did was in 1985 with a B&W image scanned in on Thunderscan (a module you hooked to the printhead on an Apple Imagewriter scanner) and then retouched in a program Letraset - the presstype guys - called ImageStudio. Somewhere, on a floppy, I still have the image. |

What I'm saying is photos mean something. But digitally manipulated, composited, retouched, perfected, glimmering "creations" aren't photos. They are artwork. |
