On 17/6/05, Tom Reese, discombobulated, unleashed: >This reminds me of a conversation I had at the 2004 Nature Photography >Weekend. I was standing there hoping to get a good shot of a couger >and I remarked that the chain link fence in the background would spoil >the picture unless the cougar moved. The guy standing next to me said >"I'll just clone that out." Is that acceptable? Not in my mind.
Nor in mine. It appears we all have standards, but at what point does the cloning tool stop being a minor aide, and start being a major contribution to the photo, no the collage, not the photo, no the collage AAAAAARGH > >Photographs aren't fake. Actually Tom, I know what you mean, but I would say that it's the photographers who are the fakes. As the Klingons would say, it is a matter of honour, now pass the Gargh.
