- Photos OK to edit
Yes.So if I'm understanding this correctly, this is a photograph. It has posed subjects that were deliberately grouped together for the express purpose of having a photo taken.
Yes.Which would make this a snapshot because there was no control over the subject and the composition was little more than an educated guess that was done in a spur of the moment.
Yes. (I know what you meant)By your definition, almost all photojournalism would be nothing more than snapshots.
There is nothing wrong with any of that though. This is what I mean when I said people should not get offended. Bentcountershaft, the photo of the bear is awesome. Calling it a snapshot (in my opinion) should not take away from the image itself. It is only a description of the circumstances in which the image was taken.
