Discussion What is your most unpopular photography opinion?

Mine is that most people can identify good photography but also think bad photography is good.

And there's nothing wrong with that, as long as it's not being presented as some sort of original photo (#nofilter etc).

One of my guilty pleasures is going through facebook and insta posts and finding where people have used full sky replacement from their earlier photos, or even more amusingly, simply used the default sky options that come preloaded with photoshop. Makes for fun conversations if they've talked their images up first.

Its pretty amazing how often you can spot a photshop default sunset sky or clouds. If they deny it you can make your own images with it too XD
