Photography: What’s real, what’s not and does it matter?

I got some flack on Facebook about a past post on my blog . I received a comment from a reader or two stating they felt that what they saw in the produced images was not real.

I think people are rather shocked at seeing a photo “undressed”. It’s a bit like seeing a high-fashion model on the streets without any makeup, it can be scary.

Blackmagic Steals NAB 2012 With Their New Cinema Camera

New Super Camera Packs a 2.5K Sensor For Less Than $3000.00

If you heard a collective gasp coming from about ninety thousand people in Las Vegas last week, it was most likely in reaction to Blackmagic’s ground breaking announcement that they are now officially a camera manufacturer.
