Hi: Welcome Bert from euro.

one bad apple doesn't have to spoil the bunch.

There the Sony Hx300 with a 50x and a carl zeiss lens. 20 million back lit sensor.

One piece of my work

Even if you only have time for a single exposure in some editing programs you can still do a single raw hdr. I have found out this is also a work around for noisy cameras shooting high iso. Just don't push the iso and boost the imagine in post with single hdr in raw. With Paint shop pro you adjust exposure up or down and the spread on the interval of the 3 hdr assumed exposures. with raw there some much you can do.

Now see this

I little more Bokeh for Christmas. Please Santa.

To me most art is made with the formation by using ones hands, where error can be introduced, not a automated process. In the definition of Art. Photography is a Art. Do I think Ansel Adams create Art? No it's a great Photograph Corrected to the best he could, given the tools of his time. I'm sure others would say given the fact he alter the imagine made him a artist. That would be correct. This is just my opinion.

If your not up for it? Just say honey I'll take some Photographs, just not at the Wedding.

Photography is formed by a lens and a substrate, to me that is not necessarily art, it can be, but not necessarily. Changing colors to represent a difference perspective is art.
Art to me, is the Artist idea of what one sees. To enter or omit something within a scene. Not just framing to omit a particular object. Photography is a art form and was develop by those who were artist, but I look at it, as not a art form, because the artist can include or remove things in a scene or just be in there head and paint what they see. It is very subjective. The idea is subjective. The question is
The word Art is to create. Given that definition it is art and doing anything with your Photographs is clearly art.

nice tool

love that word..

sound like somebody is off the meds

The trouble with the word PRO is people think the word means great Photographer. If you look at the rules of Golf a Pro is somebody who does it for money.
If you are great then you should call yourself an Expert and that solves the problem of being called a Pro or those who call themselves a pro photographer.
Plus art people and those who went to college have a chip on there shoulder.
