A delight to read so many views. My view is that a sound recording can be
as real as a photograph, and yes, there are many photographers with
different styles and beliefs about what is real or natural. So naturally
photographers have created standards, at least in certain groups or
associations. I found this document from North American Nature Photograph=
y
Association "NANPA Truth in Captioning"
http://www.nanpa.org/docs/NANPA-Truth-Captioning.pdf You can read about
"public trust and acceptance" and "standards of honesty, communication and
comprehensive captioning." At the bottom is "Photo Illustration:
Abbreviated "Phil" or an actual situation: "Dbl. Exp.," "Digital Retouch,"
"Composite," etc., this indicates assembly of an image from two or more
images or parts, or removal of significant parts, by computer, darkroom or
other means. It may include addition or subtraction of elements, duplicatin=
g
elements within an image, sandwiching different images and removing
obstructions. This definition does not include removing scratches or dust,
repairing damage to images, or making slight alterations that have
traditionally been made by filters or in the printing process."
Does anyone know if the Nature Sounds Society or another group has created =
a
similar document?
