Makes me wonder if Andrew Wyeth ever added anything to a painting.

I would imagine he did. Just not after it was finished. ;-)

Is photography an art or isn't it? If it is, are there any rules to art?


Yes - there are rules. One is - lay claim to what is truly yours - Only!

Still a photo.
But some people like to keep images a virgin, no "adulteration".

If it looks better/more interesting, what's the problem?

Photo+photo=photo.

But then it is a personal choice/belief.


I'm not sure that I have a single photo that's a "virgin".

Luminar and PS 21 can now do sky replacement. Don't get me wrong, I sometimes massage my photos a lot by cropping, using spot repair, cloning out small unwanted bits, adjust exposure, and sometimes add a little saturation. But sky replacement to me seems like too much. Do you still call it a photo after you replace the sky? Do you enter it in a contest without saying anything. Do you accept compliments without saying anything? Not trying to be a purist, but when you start adding and replacing items in a photo, it seems to me it is no longer a photo. It's probably photo art. Not trying to start a fight, just interested in your perspective.

A collage is what it is.
Yes, a photo but a compilation of several disparate photos unrelated to each other and made into a single photo.

Long Shadow............... I would say NOT

Photo + Photo (put together) = "Digital Art" NOT a photo

My Opinion... AND, "OK" if you don't agree

Yes, I think photography is an art. Most photo contests have rules, so they need to be followed. If the contest has not limits, so be it. Other than that, I would feel uncomfortable if I posted an image as a photo on this website or on Facebook, and I then accepted a bunch of compliments even though half of the photo was from my computer.

Well Said Lorvey

Then what do you can it when you put two photos together in the darkroom? That has been done since the beginnings of photography, and it has always been considered a photograph.

======================================

BUT, when you use two 'negatives'..... Tell the 'world' that is what you 'DID'

DON'T mis-represent it when you do it in the digital world and have everyone think you are the most 'wonderful gift to the photography world' and you have this 'tremendous gift given to you buy GOD' that you do things which and so special when they are not.......

.. What I am talking about is NOT the act of 'creating' something..
... What I am talking about about is the act of 'Falsely' representing it as something it is NOT

.. Take Credit for what you 'Can do'
.... Don't take Credit for something you 'Can NOT do' by mis-representing it
