  • Warning: Geeky photography stuff ahead ;) Some photographers are purists who stay away from creative techniques that can look bizarre or over-processed, but I believe that every photo trick, be it long exposures, HDR, or bokeh (to name a few) has a creative application that it’s just perfect for.
