Photography Too much Photoshop

Get a DSLR. Take pictures. "Process" them a bit, you know—recover lost highlight and shadow detail, work your mouse with a bit of dodge and burn, clone out the unwanted, add in a little texture here and there, miraculously enhance the contrast.

Or, if you're really blatantly shameless, go for the full scam: HDR!

Did you learn some photography? Hell no! You learned some damn Photoshop trickery.

Congratulations for being a lousy photographer!

Thanks, Iancu.

Damn... what a difference. They sure look good, after the post-processing, but "I pitty the foul" that sent those shots to the judges :))

Oh my, a great case study! (I think the last two pictures look better with the default editing.)
