When I started in photography I took many pictures of sunsets. My brother in law said wow thats so boring as it happens every day. He is right of course, but what it taught me was not to be as cynical and that there is beauty in the everyday. It taught me to appreciate the mundane everyday. Another little lesson for my life there. I still learn so much about myself and my life by these events and experiences as above. I take time to appreciate the simple things in life.
I also like street photography and drone photography. I don't like the dishonesty in some photographers with images produced by computer not by camera. For example, one guy posted a picture of a dam at night, with a car on it and also a clear milky-way directly up the middle. He posted wow so lucky getting a car crossing just at the right time. People commented how amazing his photo was. But for me it was a shame he was conning the audience. Taking a photo of the milk-way takes a long exposure which would have blurred the car on the bridge, plus it was extremely unlikely the milky way aligned with the damn too. But such is life, people will be be dishonest in many ways. But I always wonder where people like that draw the line? Most photographers would state the photo is a composite of more than one photo and the sky was from a stock photo on the editing app not his camera. Then just after that post a photographer posted a similar image and explained how he had made it from a composite and editing app. I think he was telling the audience that the one above was fake without drawing it out. This brings me to an ethical point. Was it ok for the man to con the audience? After-all they enjoyed the photo anyway. What do you think? I think personally its not harmful but still dishonesty.
… always learning in life and appreciating it.
