Photography

[0Target0]

Once again with people attempting to make their photographs look "cool" by giving it a 3D frame effect (reminds me of a postcard, personally)... sickens me. Show the world your photographic talent with your picture, not Photoshop. Honestly, in my opinion, if you can't take a good picture without some touching up in Photoshop, you don't deserve a camera. Sure, one could say how it's just a little effect, nothing major—but what does this one effect imply? It implies you alter your images, you manipulate and fake what you've taken to make it appear "nicer" (I quote because I'd definitely make the argument a noisy picture looks better than one that looks fake)... It implies, in short, that you've created, not captured, a moment. You should take pride in what you've captured, but instead you hide it behind fancy effects.

99% of professional photographs are edited, its just cool to manipulate photographs, even analog ones...it sickens me that everyone thinks so traditional about pictures

be creative instead of taking pictures of nature, sunset, sundown, cars...etc...edit them or show the unusual...
