We are there with our cameras to record reality. Once we start modifying that which exists, we are robbing photography of its most valuable attribute
Thanks for the comments and votes
Your comment "We are there with our cameras to record reality. Once we start modifying that which exists, we are robbing photography of its most valuable attribute" - you are clearly a man after my own heart! I have written extensively on this topic, and have been accused of being a fundamentalist" by some of my fellow club members. I think it's a fine line between "photography" and "digital art". People spend hours making epic images of dull subjects with no back story - and they are very skillful at it. But it's not what I want to do. I placate myself by likening it to Jazz. To ask "Do you like Jazz?" is an almost pointless question - maybe I like Fusion, but not Oompah! In both cases the word is so wide as to be almost meaningless now. But I won't enter competitions any more. I see it as akin to joining a club called "The Knitting and Basket Weaving Club" - now let's have a competition where we compare your Jumper with this Basket!
Keep up the good work!

Hi Andrew, I really love your bird photos...my favourites are the wren, the long tailed tits, the treecreeper and the kingfisher. Looking forward to seeing more birdie photos from Kiltonga Nature Reserve. I was there yesterday, when I heard and saw my first Chiff Chaff...I was thrilled. Was even more delighted to see and hear the Kingfishers earlier in the week. Keep up the good work. Hope I can take photos as good as yours someday!
