Until fairly recently a big part of a photographer's skill was how he printed his own photographs. Darkroom skills were a very big part of the job. Using your criteria above, you're saying people like Ansel Adams weren't the photography geniuses they actually were. However, I am of the opinion there is a big difference between a good photographer and a good image technician. -- Veggie Dave http://www.iq18films.co.uk "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."

Photography wouldn't be the first discipline to succumb to the It's All Been Done effect - the first person to climb a mountain or sail around the world is always going to be more notable than the thousandth.

However, I, as an untrained observer, would like to know whether "a photo" is a single frame or multiple frames. To go back to the original subject, I *knew* there was something "not quite right" with the photos in the gallery, but I didn't know what. I would have liked to have known. > You're like the people who want magazines to put warnings on the > pictures where the models have been touched up. <mode=Roy Walker> Is not right. </mode> -- Chris |
