Reading Response: After Photography by Fred Ritchin
Chapter: 3
It is amazing what we are capable of with the technology we have today. A simple romanticized photograph of a beach scene can be comprises on hundreds of different photographs of that same beach. One photo could have children running. Another one could have a man selling ice cream, and yet another one could surfers in the water all that you want to take out. Software now is capable of using deferent photograph of the same scene to fill in of parts that you would like to take out that can make it possible to have ‘the prefect photo.’
With Google maps on Street View one can visit, with a 360 degree view, amazing places like: Stonehenge in England or the Norte Dame Cathedral in France, or even Pompei in Italy. It is like you are there without having to leave your computer. The different angles and positioning are put together from pictures that are made up from images found all over the internet, mostly off of flickr.
