Even the classic landscape guys like Ansel Adams did a lot of manipulation in the darkroom. Dodging, burning, contrast adjustment, etc have been around since the invention of photography.<br /><br />I think the main difference is between photography as "art" and photography as "documentation". The goal of the artist is to elicit a feeling, or an emotion. To make you think or feel. You can like it or not, but it's their vision. While I may agree that some artists push it too far, it's still their art. <br /><br />On a more technical note, try taking one of your Antelope canyon photos in RAW format, and adjust the white balance of it in Lightroom or your favorite RAW editor. If left on Auto, it reads the canyon as more of a Tungsten or Fluorescent light. This gives a lot of purples and blues. Your eyes can adjust and handle much more than a camera sensor. To the human eye, it looks more like the white balance on cloudy, or shade. Which is correct? Even the purples and blues are Straight out of the camera.<br /><br />Peter Lik specifically used to shoot on Fuji Velvia, although he does mostly digital now. Velvia is famous for oversaturated colors, which is why it was a favorite of landscape photographers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989690037638447091.post-46114027035567606242012-05-10T07:56:51.412-06:002012-05-10T07:56:51.412-06:00Amazing picture!Amazing picture!Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989690037638447091.post-50072614049058874572012-05-10T07:55:53.976-06:002012-05-10T07:55:53.976-06:00Looks like a postcard!Looks like a postcard!Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989690037638447091.post-19962171689482745432012-04-30T19:32:08.395-06:002012-04-30T19:32:08.395-06:00Interesting clouds.Interesting clouds.Judynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989690037638447091.post-33900919095820938912012-04-10T13:15:47.606-06:002012-04-10T13:15:47.606-06:00Beautiful colors!Beautiful colors!Momnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5989690037638447091.post-49702945979375246702012-04-10T11:39:01.390-06:002012-04-10T11:39:01.390-06:00I like how this really gives a sense of what it wa...I like how this really gives a sense of what it was like to be underneath those big trees.
