I guess it is a matter of whether the technology hinders focusing on the creation or not.Juha Haatajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361255734892508254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-26739332018185703452010-10-17T21:32:32.471+03:002010-10-17T21:32:32.471+03:00I don't think that new technology is seriously...I don't think that new technology is seriously reducing creativity. On the contrary, it adds new possibilities to express oneself.<br /><br />The added (automatic) functions in cameras don't preclude the expression (you don't have to use them on some cameras), because often they are added to help with technical aspects of photography. Postprocessing in digital age is easy and brings many possibilities of artistic expression. I consider postprocessing an integral part of photography that cannot be separated, creating a photo does not end with shutter release...<br /><br />I postprocess only good photographs I like to make them even closer to my vision/feeling, or just to play with them a be creative...Myn.pheoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395901939565022805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3500144491563926221.post-85240458101074621222010-10-17T20:30:30.755+03:002010-10-17T20:30:30.755+03:00Juha, obviously you (and I) are not part of the &q...Juha, obviously you (and I) are not part of the "we". I am neither demanding nor using the gizmos and gimmicks my camera provides (I did exactly once, and found no benefit) and happily ignore them alltogether, and so you seem to do. <br /><br />No, in this case technology does not hinder: First, you do not have to use a digital camera, second you don't have to use the auto-anything, and third you can pick your cherries if it helps communicate your vision. If you don't have a vision, neither a film camera nor a pencil will help.<br /><br />And throughout the centuries artists were rare, as well as those who can discern art from show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
