- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
It's funny you mention that because when I got my Cokin filter holder at a pawn shop, it came with a BUNCH of filters, and a few of them were soft focus filters and the photos on the packaging looked very 80s/early 90s.This discussion is interesting, and shows me just how out of touch I am with modern photography. Back in the '80's, I wouldn't think of photographing a woman without some degree of soft focus filter on my ETRS.....wow, things have changed.....not saying either is better, just things have changed.....
I used to be of the mind that all my photos had to be tack sharp when I shot digital. Shooting film has helped me alot because I've had to adjust to the quirks of certain older lenses and my own mistakes. Sometimes "mistakes" with film end up being my favorites though so I think in the end it's really how the photo makes you feel, like others have said, and if the softness of the image adds to that, then great
