[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Fair question, Philippe - I think I mean accurate in the sense of true, or is that circular? I'm not suggesting that the photographer shouldn't be able to shoot the scene as he or she 'sees' it - only that what is captured in that frame, that which is frozen, be true to what the photographer saw - that nothing be added or taken out after the fact. But then I'm applying photo journalistic or documentary standards, and not all photography is governed by those standards. ;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Philippe Orlent Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 6:35 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Is that so wrong?
