I would like to be politically correct when I make comments on here, so?
So when is a shot a shot, a photo a photo or a photograph a photograph.
I see a lot of comments saying nice shot, or nice photo/photograph. I feel I may be insulting folks by saying that was a great shot, or should it be nice photograph.
How do others feel about the political correctness of comments. Or do they all mean the same?
Comments definitely welcome. Thanks for reading

Don't ask me. I'm about the most politically incorrect guy you'll meet.

Authority speaking?!
"A picture is worth ten thousand words" again. Many pictures posted here generate as much verbal traffic.
The first is the more interesting photograph. A candid capture, posed spontaneously, with good yellows and contrasting colors in the helmets and reflecting glasses, different expressions, young women having fun. The second is posed like a million other such portraits of an attractive young woman in a formal setting.
Both pictures = snapshots in time.

I agree, Scoutman. I rather liked the first image of the two girls. Much more interesting and colorful. Not the best example, perhaps...?

How many countries speak English?
How many ways are the same word spelled? (US/UK spell check !)
How many different meanings for a word exist in common usage?
How many times can the same word mean different things in a different country? Or even different parts of a country.
Why is there not one 'English'?
Its not the noun you have to worry about - its the adjective that comes with it.

Got to work for an 8 hour shift and come home to two more pages of comments. I see there are a lot of opinions. Everyone has their opinion and I respect that. Sounds like I can say "That's an awesome shot, or that one great photo" and still be polite. Some photos on here deserve an extra adjective or two. A lot of you folks are very talented and post some really nice work. Seems there are all lot of names thru my thread that I have never seen before.
Thanks to all for the great comments and insight.

Politically correct is usually intellectually dishonest. With the exception of truly hurtful terms of the racial, gender or ethic types, I generally prefer the politically incorrect terms just to see the reaction.
Zero Tolerance, for example, really means, Zero Intelligence. :-)

Holy Crap Cliff! I use that exact "Zero Tolerance" Saying. I've never heard anyone else use it.

'Politically Correct' is synonymous with 'Brain Dead.'
Politeness is more to the point.

Art is when someone with money exchanges it for an image. The image is sold to someone who is attracted to the impressions and feelings that the photographer (hopefully) put into it. Crass collecting or using paid images as clipart doesnt really count. There are photo cliches and other not "true" art. Debate with no real outcome swirls around the concepts but usually art has a monetary value.

I am a day late to this conversation, but it is fascinating. 3 comments:
Harvey (pg 1) -- I don't agree that photos become art because they've gone through post processing.
markg (pg 2) -- All Picasos are Picasos, but not all Picasos are paintings...
gemac (page 4) -- So art is only what sells? I've seen images sell that I sure wouldn't classify as art...
Just another opinion. Charlie

Really, dont you think that composition comes into it. You can take a photo but the placement of a frame, dof, portrait, landscape, foreground interest or background interest, doesn't that come into it as well.???????????? Only a newby but I look at what I take.

My thinking is it becomes "Art" when the setting or subject is created or altered ( considerably) in digital editing till then all are photographs.

From the Greek: "Photos",(Light) and "Graphos", (to paint or draw) using light to make a photograph makes the image a photograph, be it a "snapshot" or a well-thought out, carefully prepared process.

You say tomatoe, I say tomatoe....wait, that doesn't make sense when you put it in writing.
What is the difference between "soda" and "pop?"
It all just depends on who is saying it. People need to be less sensitive.

"Pop" is a sound, "soda" is just a word
