Kind of interesting timing. I've re-kiindled my like of film lately and am trying to re-learn some MF photo skills a bit. I was at the Carlsbad flower fields with my wife, trying to do some macro shots. During one of the shots I sat waiting for a bee to make his approach to a flower I was looking at and a guy walked up and asked how long I was going to wait. I mentioned I was in no hurry, to which he simply replied..."just photoshop it in and call it a day".

This made me realize the willingness of folks to do this level of manipulation. The individual had a Canon 1 series body and bag of gear strung over his shoulder as he ran off to capture some other pics. I just couldn't go to that extreme in PS. Not saying its wrong, guess I'm a bit more of a purist than I thought.
