*Your 'profile'...shows a strong desire to 'ask questions and questions and questions'~ so perhaps you would be so kind, as to 'infuse' your Topic, with some of your own ideas about~"Reply in: And the next major hurdle we have to jump, in our march forward in the Digital Era is ............."

(2) @Chris T~ "And, I surely have no idea what it has to do with the next major hurdle we have to cross in camera design, in the Digital Era ...">> Well Chris, in a general sense...{it appears to me...that for many of the 'prime-time' ''Attic" dwellers[/b] }~it would behoove them to 'clear' a major hurdle~ of caring and respecting the true essence of photography~ as opposed to 'hate-speech'-'poor manners'...etc,etc,etc!:> Truth be known, Chris~ "I only went to the trouble to post a 'little-something'...just to see what your response would be!" *I know you thoroughly enjoy having anything to 'criticize'!:>

OK, my friend...now it's my turn~ "I had no idea, albeit 'what and where' you were coming from with @Chris T~"Reply in: And the next major hurdle we have to jump, in our march forward in the Digital Era is ............." Sorry-but I see no reference to> @ Chris T "major hurdle we have to cross in camera design" (?)! Now, had I seen ("camera design") in your 'topic-title', which by the way, I do not see...(am I missing something)?>then I would not have responded/posted at all! Perhaps Admin, saw something, also... but I'm sure they had their 'rational' reasons for moving your topic!!! *Admin has my vote!!!
Have a 'happy' day!:> 'CyberDave'

Great Enhancement!!! Considering the subject matter (cats)~ and knowing them quite intimately (we have 30+), at our old farmstead... Well, I'd have to say: "Purr-fect" in every way!:> 'CyberDave'

*[Three Cheers!!!] Greetings, 'SS319'!:>

@'SS319':"My goal is never to reproduce reality, but to induce emotions, and saturation is but one tool available to produce that image."
________________________________________

'Saturation'- is indeed a powerful tool...that certainly should be considered~in any final composition. Now, as to the degree {strictly-subjective in nature}(?)~well it's 'artistic' license, that should prevail...in the final and completed photographic work.

Good advice, presented in a professional way!:> 'CyberDave'

'Well said'~indeed!!!!!> Perfect just Perfect!:>

When 'reality' becomes too stark~I simply create my own 'paralleled' universe!:>

@rook2c4:"If we look at photography as an art form, then there really are no rules concerning what is right and what is wrong."

Yes indeed!>an important 'perspective', to consider...whilst viewing another 'photographer's' work! I've always viewed my photographic work, as 'Artistic Expressions', as visualized~through my mind's eye!:> 'CyberDave'

I thoroughly agree!:> 'CyberDave'

We are not alone! Just a quick reference to 'ponder-on'!:> 'CyberDave'

* "Putting the Lyrical in Lyrical Abstraction"

>'In the 1910s, several different groups of artists were flirting with abstraction, each from a unique perspective. Cubist and Futurist artists were working with imagery from the real world and altering it in conceptual ways to express abstract ideas. Suprematist and Constructivist artists were working with recognizable forms in their art, but using them in ambiguous or symbolic ways, or in a way that attempted to convey universalities. But another group of artists was approaching abstraction from a completely different perspective than the rest.

Epitomized by Wassily Kandinsky, this group approached abstraction from the perspective that they did not know what meaning there might be in what they painted. They hoped that by simply painting freely, without preconceived notions of aesthetics or the objective world, something unknown could be expressed through their work. Kandinsky likened his paintings to musical compositions, which communicated emotion in a completely abstract way. His abstract paintings were imaginative, emotive, expressive, personal, passionate and completely subjective; in other words, lyrical.'<
