Lens Blur in the new Google Camera app
We had an interesting discussion about this a few nights ago at a Photojournalism talk.<p>In that field, digital edits are seriously banned, to the point multiple very well known photo journalists have been fired for one little use of the clone tool [1] and other minor edits.<p>It's interesting to think I can throw an f/1.8 lens on my DSLR and take a very shallow depth of field photo, which is OK, even though it's not very representative of what my eyes saw. If I take the photo at f/18 then use an app like the one linked, producing extremely similar results, that's banned. Fascinating what's allowed and what's not.<p>I find even more interesting is the allowance of changing color photos to B/W, or that almost anything that "came straight off the camera" no matter how far it strays from what your eyes saw.<p>[1] <a href="http://www.toledoblade.com/frontpage/2007/04/15/A-basic-rule-Newspaper-photos-must-tell-the-truth.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.toledoblade.com/frontpage/2007/04/15/A-basic-rule...</a>
