I have only been into digital Photography just this last year although i did do some 35mm stuff about 30+ years ago but that stopped due to getting married,house and kids etc,but this last year the urge to take this hobby up again surfaced and after doing some homework a bought a few nice cameras albeit not over the top price wise but also not the cheapest going either.
And i will admit i am really enjoying it,have done alot of reading and trying to learn as much i can from some very good forums,its all coming together in terms of subject matter and how best to get a few spectacular shot rather than massive's amount of rubbish photo's as i would describe them.
This is the part of modern Photography that i still cannot grasp if its right or wrong and is it classed as possibly cheating,and its the photo editing software side of photography.What i mean by this that with modern technology we can manipulate rubbish pictures into semi decent one,maybe not award winning quality but how do the old timers see this new technology especially the software side of things.
I will admit i am a total novice and only just started out,but i am trying to gain skills so that i can take better 'original' pictures that in theory dont require any modifications to say low light quality or removing things etc that software can.So am i the only one that thinks its classed as cheating or perhaps that may not be the right word to use.Any input or thoughts about this topic from long standing folks in this hobby.
