You have a point again....but some thing just don't feel right.

And therein lies the eternal question - 'What is right'...?
-Some pure film shooters believe anything digital isn't right....
-Others draw the line at post-processing...
-And yet still others fully embrace all & any kind of post-processing...

can I be in all three?
-film is king, fujichrome velvia is just too beautiful for words.
-some things are better left untouched, defects and all, they add to the story.
-I've said it before, even the Fakey Mc fake HDRs have a place in my heart. Sometimes something as simple as a gradient fill can turn your boring nobody wants to look at it photo into something poster worthy without ruining it or looking fake. 

Don't you mean the A55 and A33? The NEX technically doesn't have a shutter.

it doesn't?, I'm lost...

we are all  dancing around eternal question;... what is art,  and in photography as it is in all formal explorations of human creatitivity, there rules and those rules were mean to be followed,
.....and  to be broken , that is all art is .......the intelligent exploration of form ,

 so as the repetoire of" tools" expand ,they are used.... some profoundly like in painting and the plastic arts [witness its evolution in the last 30,00 yrs].....some foolishly in ways that poorly serve the image...or not at all or are discordant [accidently] or just plain foolishand informed by .... nothing

photography is a special case in art .... it serves the needs of the documentarian,
the historian , the commercial shooters of people and products, the fine artist, the
person who is simply compellled to shoot  life, world and, loved ones
and all thats in between, even  the boundries of this incomplete set are forever
blended at the seams, all one can hope to do is unlimited, but that is not the same as do anything you want................

questions about the validity of hdr , are well,  good.... we  might as well discuss the merits of acrylic paint  cubism ve surrealism and what qualifies the boundry of erotic vs obscene


its all good when it is discussed intelligently and when things are done that serve the image before the ego
