    kulang lang yata ng kape...zzzzz...or exercise...nasobrahan ng pag anime marathon...

    anways, in the end, parang napaisip ko...for equipment yata parang unfair na question to :-)
    in the end, the camera just records what its "eyes" see...

    ang photographer ang may-"say" kung ano mang labas...zzzz

    Lying is a human trait. The camera is not human.

    No, it does not. The lies come after the photo image is taken and goes through Photoshop.

    but, isn't it also possible (like in the olde days) that one manipulates the pictures without Photoshop?

    so basically even during the actual taking, during the actual development of the film (if its a film cam) and post processing, pwede ibang images...

    also, the mood or story of the picture is not just the camera's view...depends on how it was angled, presented, cropped etc.

    *sabi ng camera: tapos you say I'm a liar? my feelings are hurt!*

    The camera records what the lens sees. Anything can be done to the image after that.

    Is a sailboat a traveler? No, unless someone steers it from point A to point B.
    The same is true with the camera, or Photoshop for that matter. They are all tools for someone to convey his/her intentions. There are so many factors to consider in photography as we all know. Is the camera lying if you place a red filter to shoot the blue sky. How about a fast-speed film (or powerful lens) freezing a shot at a 100 mile per hour speed. Or artificially spotlighting an object in a room that's dark. Dodging? Burning? High Saturation, etc.. Although I don't condone nor like guns, I don't think it is a killer until someone puts bullets in it and pull the trigger.

    We haven't talk about stylists yet - using Elmer's glue as milk, and mashed potato as ice cream... :-)

    If you stage or prepare something for photographic reasons, then that's EXACTLY what the camera lens will see. The "camera does not lie" statement still applies here. "Lies" only happen in postprocessing.
