Give me a break. This post is completely misleading. They say none of these images were photoshopped… but they don’t say that none of them were digitally altered. So they used raw editing software or Lightroom or Topaz. Some of them I would believe are unaltered, but not all of them.
I’m a professional photographer and I’m sorry, but some of these photos just have colors that are too vibrant to be taken straight from the camera with no alterations. At the very LEAST they had to bump up the saturation or contrast or use some HDR to expose the clouds and landscape evenly.
Some of the photos that have DEFINITELY been digitally altered in some way (even if they’re not “photoshopped”) are Cloudy Day, Bering Sea Sunset, Glowing Barrel, Riverdance, Paragliding 2, and possibly more. Clouds on Fire looks like it has been run through a Topaz filter for sure. Clouds do not normally have all of that darkening around the edges.
Sorry, I’ve been doing this for way too long. It annoys me when people try to make it sound like they’re photo purists when they’re not. What’s wrong with saying they’re digitally altered? They’re gorgeous photos of incredible things, I don’t think anyone is going to care. You don’t need to mislead people.
