It has rain fishes, and sharks are fish. Of course a photoshop image happened...can't exist unless it did. Electrons moving is something 'real' happening...ask any electrician.
I've seen all sorts of weird stuff.. sharks flying birds swimming toads playing the banjothe dif
ference between an image on a wet plate or film or sensor, and an "image" made by photoshop is that the photoshoped image NEVER happened.
How many times do you see sharks flying in the sky?

So when film production has ceased (and all old film stock is consumed) and all there is to record the world seen by our eyes is with a digital sensors, 'photography' will cease to exist in the world, I surmise from reading the above. Then somebody, please shoot me now because I have not been practicing 'photography' in many years, and sharing my 60 years of knowledge with any digital shooters is NOT preserving the practice of 'photography' at all.The unique character of photography is that manipulation of the scene for making a picture is nil compared to other forms of representation. For example, Goya's etchings on the horors of war were easier to compose, than photos shot by a combat photographer. Canaletto was able to move whole buildings when composing his landscapes.. The reason that I distinguish digital capture is because it is not limited by he constraints of photography as far as manipulating images in picture. This does not mean that DC is better or worse, it's just different..

...maybe what I did with Photoshop was merely sharpening the image and altering contrast and shadow detail, presented differently than the sensor recorded it...I could have done the same thing in the darkroom with masks and dodging/burning and use of VC filters...
If the photographer thinks the clouds make the scene what it should look like, doesn't that matter? I've burnt in clouds/ used filters to emphasize them. What about portrait photographers who used filters, or retouched, photos of a teen with bad acne? The finished print is what matters, isn't it?Maybe. I am always very cautious of digital landscapes, because they always have the most amazing clouds. I always wonder if they are real (for that landscape in that moment, or ever in that particular geographic location). In some cases they are, in others likely not. Does it matter? Yes, it kind of does. And yes, you can do that with film also.

If you “shot”, who knows what you were doing. Only “capture” or “create” are valid verbs in photography.Not sure what I was doing today, but I shot 12 pictures using my Hasselblad, 60mm lens and a yellow-green filter. Thought it was photography but it could have been something else.

I’m glad you didn’t “take”any pictures... that sounds like theft.
You used a filter ? That’s graphic arts. OopsNot sure what I was doing today, but I shot 12 pictures using my Hasselblad, 60mm lens and a yellow-green filter. Thought it was photography but it could have been something else.
"Photography is the art, application, and practice of creating durable images by recording light, either electronically by means of an image sensor, or chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film."

perhaps yes. ... it might be addressing known issues but it is turning one thing into another as far as some folks seem to be concerned.I would say it is addressing a known limitation/characteristic of the medium (in this case [likely] panchromatic B&W film)- creating a tonal response closer to the standard (human vision). All artistic mediums have some limitations relative to the standard.

nothing is permitted on the camera but the lens .. no filters no nothing and when it is printed. no funny business like that burning and dodging and flirtation stuff
but then again, if it had a lens filter on to begin with none of it matters being a graphic arts enterprise as it may be.
onward and upward or whatever it is they say
and im really not sure why any of it matters since reality is not real and photographs just express untruths
not sure about rhetorical but from what I can tellI guess everything is rhetorical at this point, but I'm not sure I have heard anyone saying that...
not sure about rhetorical but from what I can tell
this is an illusion ..
not sure about you but
I've been submerged in a giant tank
and handcuffed in steamer trunk for 78 years
its rather amusing the nonsensical people and points of view
one imagines when they ae deprived of oxygen.
I never thought about any of these things when I was dangling
upside down on a cable in a straight jacket
I think you have it the other way around, its not that I disagree with your opinion or definition ... I'd like to, but it makes absolutely no sense because of what a camera and photographic print from a negative projected down on or contact printed on a sheet of light sensitive paper does. your definition refuses to allow photography to be photography. my ghost publisher suggests it will be fine if you tweaked your definition a little so it make sense.Translation: One can have any opinion of this subject as long as it agrees with the OP. Ok I got it now.
