What for?
Um, because I'd be interested in seeing what they come up with, that's "what for?"...
What matters is the final image.
Exactly the point.
So many people are pissing and moaning and lamenting about how "rookies" are destroying the business. Well, here 'tis, ladies: A lot of them are putting out a genuinely good product, and they're able to do it because of the software that's available today. I'm not saying that's good or bad...
This coming from someone who is a Photoshop zero, and also kind of old school.) I can understand the frustration of (and can relate to) those who had to do it the hard way; the reality is that the world has changed, and it will keep changing. Challenging the new generation to do it the old way would prove absolutely nothing.
Sure it would. It would demonstrate an actual understanding of photographic principles which, let's be honest, ain't exactly as important today as they were 35 years ago. While I do think that many of the "new generation" (even "rookies") are putting out fine product, I think someone who learned photography before the "spray and pray" concept of shooting came along will produce consistently better images, simply because they have a better understanding of not only what they're doing, but why they're doing it...
