Speaking of geese - when the heck are you sending them back here?? I'm getting pretty tired of all this snow and want to get out golfing!

Don't know Chief... The lake here is all thawed out and the geese are gone. Someone must have made a better offer.

I think it's up to the artist, and what he or she wants to do.
I think that was a very good point brought up, what difference does it make if there's a filter put on before or after? Either way, there is a change being made to the reality.
Personally, I am proudest of a shot that comes out great right out of the camera. But, having said that, I finally got an adobe photoshop program last week, and yesterday, had my oldest boy grab his guitar and took some shots JUST to play with them on Photoshop. |

| You need to experiment anyway, maybe find something untraditional or unordinary. But I think The Artist is the one who catches the moment and builds the camposition only with the camera. |

Damn, I told them before they left for the south not to accept offers from strangers! Now who knows when I'll get them back up here and get golfing again.
Next year I'll hold you responsible for the geese and will be knocking on your door if I'm not on the golf course by the 1st of April! (I hear the golfing is pretty good down your way!)

Now that I think about it Chief I know where a few of them might have gone... My father-in-law lives in a retirement community in Arizona that has a golf course running through it. They had to put in a dispenser to bribe the geese with trix cereal so they didn't get mugged trying to drive from one tee to the next by the very persistant birds.
I think that problem was solved permanently when a family of coyotes moved in.

Troy.. would that "Artist" be using a modern fully automatic camera. You and my wife must be reading the same books or something. I have had her on many occasions hold up a branch in front of my lens because I needed a forground element in a shot. She argues with me that doing that is somehow more "artistic" than it is for me combine the same two elements (different shots) into a single shot. I fail to see the logic. I suppose the "photographers" ego is somehow more satisfied but the two finished shots side by side have the same "artistic" quality.

I don't :)
You know I once saw my friend working out my failed photos in Photoshop. He easily could have turn 'em into masterpieces adding only some effects, correcting color and cutting something. Since then I've been doing the same with some of pretty good photos of mine. I may say that it helps me much but it doesn't really mean that I can spoil every shot and the program will "heal" it. I mean one should decide when to stop progressing in photography and start doing the program thing. |

I thank what ever diety you choose you don't drink Grey Goose. Someday when I'm really board I'll tell you the story.
