Hey thanks! Some of your shots look "other-worldly". Are you processing them or is that what you get out of the camera?

I'm guessing that Marty's got some heavy HDR processing on a few of them. There's a point on that scale that my eye doesn't see something as a photograph any more (my eyes are pretty bad), but it looks like a painting or CGI. A couple of his shots have hit that point for me. The one with the lake and tree in Belfast is very "otherworldly" to me, but I think that just might be Ireland. At least that's how the whole country is in my imagination. LOL....

Very cool. I had really wanted to see that when it went up. Never been to New York yet though.

The Gates looked interesting but it was way too cold to wander around in the park that day

Oh, I like HDR, sometimes it just gets to a point where I can't tell if it's a photograph or more of and illustrated art.

I was reading a great article about just that the other day too. Some guy won a big deal photography contest, but it wasn't a straight forward picture, it was many layers from different sessions in different places all combined in photoshop. The article was questioning where the line gets drawn today between a photograph and an art piece that uses photography, and if the two should be judged against each other in competition.

Personally, I appreciate both. I love a really fantastic straight forward picture, just the eye of the photographer and the camera. However I find many post processed or composite photos really stunning. You posted a couple of plane images that I really love, and they're just at that spot where my eye loses the dimension. Super sharp, absolutely stunning, and I would happily mat it and toss it on my wall. However, I don't know that I think that it would be fair to judge it against something without that layering. I think that right now common language is not quite keeping up with the developing art form that modern photography tools have allowed.

To be a "photographer" do you have to be able to produce these stunning post processed art pieces? Is someone less of an artist if they just go out with their camera? If you are post processing and layering and adjusting the image, is that image still a photograph? Or does it become something greater? Is the art form of photographic editing changing what the general public's expectation of photography is?

LoL... okay, enough of my philosophical tangent on "new" photography. Got a little sidetracked there. eek
