While I generally agree with that, and it's often quoted as if it was a law or absolute, it also irks me somewhat with regard to what I actually see: What I see now is photos in magazines (not photographic magazines - I don't read them much), some of which are marvelous not just in context of composition etc, but they would not have been technically possible to achieve until recently, low/natural light, high-speed etc. Hit the send button too early by accident there. I blame damned "tech". I'd also comment that among the cat photos, posed selfies, and portrait format video posts I get to cringe at on facebook, the typical quality of other photos posted by people using cellphones, taken probably having no understanding of the "tech" beyond setting a scene mode or some automatic post-processing, the average photo quality seems vastly better than many old photo albums I've see. An exception being the very old albums taken when people got dressed up to go to town for a formal session with the local photographer. However many of the posted photos on FB etc are not "formal", but candid records of the times. They're very dependent on use of "tech" and the photos have got better as that tech has improved. |
