I reject reality!

We applaud Artists whose vision escapes reality and allows them to re-create on canvas what they see in their mind's eye, so why should we limit our photography to accurate reproductions of reality. Do you remember sitting on the shores of Lake Michigan watching a sunset with that favorite girl when you were a teenager? Carefully consider that image in your mind - were those grey clouds with a tinge of red orange and blue above a lake of grey-blue water, or do those colors burn with the flames of your romance and your thoughts of that night.

When we do a still life of a bowl of fruit, will we settle for that weak orange color of a Valencia orange, the thin red and green color of an apple, or do we saturate those images to increase the saliva flows and the desire to reach into that photograph and grab that fruit.

Study the B&W photographs of the depression and dust bowl eras, study how the photographers added noise and contrast to their images to convey the ultimate hardship of these people's condition. Should we not use saturation the same way.

My goal is never to reproduce reality, but to induce emotions, and saturation is but one tool available to produce that image.

You mean "allegations of discrimination" which is different.

In today's sue-happy society, we are butt-hurt over anything we perceive as a slight on us...we sue at the slightest provocation. It doesn't matter whether the charges are true or not, it matters whether B&H wants to go through the time and money to fight it.

Settlement isn't an admission of guilt, it means they felt that it would be cheaper and smarter to pay out than keep fighting.

Thanks big government looking out for us...now the prices of our gear go up for no reason.

I've owned my Sony a6300 for only two months and am thrilled with the results so far. I discovered the "picture effects" to take pictures in 6+ modes to create a new effect such as "watercolor". My question is I know how to take a picture to add whatever effect I choose before I take a picture but can I take an already taken picture and add the effect afterwards? And if it's possible to do that, then can I change it back if I don't like the results? I've seen "YouTube" videos showing other Sony models where they can see a picture on the screen and go from one effect to another and see the different results as they scroll through the effects, but on the a6300 model you have to go into the menu thus only showing the menu on the screen. Thanks for your input.
