The attached photograph was shot a few months ago. I live near the ocean and, on some mornings, there is a layer of mist over the area. As the sun comes up, there is an interval in which the mist is still there, but the sun is starting to become visible. During this time, the effects shown in the photo can be seen. It is very difficult to capture with a camera. I have tried many times, but only a few attempts have worked out.

The photo is real and the rainbow effects are naturally occurring. I did, however, use an HDR processing program to enhance the effect. This bring up a question I have had for a while about such things. At what point does it cease to be photography?

This photo was shot using a macro lens. I didn't think that was the right choice for such photographs, but it was the one that was on the camera that morning.

If anyone cares, it was shot using a Fuji X-Pro2 with an 80mm macro lens. The exposure was at 1/125 of a second at F11 and an ISO of 1000.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments.

I would say its a little of both. It is a very pretty image, but, contrived is not my style.

I like the image. No question it is photography - or maybe it's art - or maybe both?

Taken with a camera, it is photography. Post production does not diminish the fact just because you enhance the photo.

An excellent photo that captures a special moment in time.

I'd say it's a wall-hanger...

IMHO, photography is a subset of the visual arts which, in turn, is a subset of all art forms. Hell, if it appeals to you that's all that counts. To me a great photo, whether enhanced in pp or right out of the camera is every bit equal to any other visual art form.
Personally I consider peanut butter M&Ms an art form as I do good brandy, bbq ribs, a well-paddled canoe, parallel parking, etc., etc.

You captured the light as you and your camera see it. That's a photograph, which is "all about the light".

A 'picture' is a picture. Art is in the mind.

Photography is an art. So, yours is art. The difference of using a camera in lieu of a brush is: The camera paints with light. The brush uses medium.
