I don't think the ability of people to shoot thousands of shots devalues or threatens professional photographers at all.
Well said.I don't think the ability of people to shoot thousands of shots devalues or threatens professional photographers at all. The world is changing as it always has as technology as evolved. What it does is to force pros to change - which is why I suspect some of them consider this revolution to be some sort of final death act. There will always be a need for great photographers - people whose work stands out. Maybe this trend will sort out the lazy photographers from the rest though...
As opposed to the 'fair and balanced' views from the main stream media?One assumption you can make about bloggers is that the reason they're blogging something in the first place is that they've got a vested interest in the subject and they're going to spin it their way.
If anything is a threat to the "professional," it would be the ability to catalog 1,000s upon 1,000s of images properly and make such available and accessible to the public cheaply (free).
How long do you think it will be before a program comes along and manipulates those 1,000s of photos into 'realistic' and attractive compositions?
