I am submitting a photo that was taken last month. It is a great sunset shot that stands on it's own. One of our readers has taken exception to my Double Exposure. Some feel that we should not adulterate the original photos. I do concur to a point. The mark of a great photographer is their ability to see a great shot and capture it. However, digital photography has opened up the opportunity for much experimentation. That gives way to another avenue of creativity. Why not explore it!
I am all for composing the perfect shot, but engaging in photography as a hobby doesn't always afford us the time we might like to spend in this endeavor. So if, on occasion, we choose to "enhance" our photos, I say it's o.k. It would be inappropriate, however, to pass off an altered photo for an original.
No matter what picture you choose to submit, it's nice to hear your interpretation as to why you chose the one you chose, what you had to do to get the shot, what the conditions were like, etc. Hearing about the creative process is as interesting as viewing the photo. Hopefully, we can all learn from one another. Looking forward to hearing from you!
I admit this is not a photo taken this month, but I wanted to share it. This shot was taken out my bathroom window. It looked like the sky was on fire. Submitted by Sparrow.
