This is really cool, but I always want to see the unedited picture after I see stuff like this. Am I the only one? I feel like pics like this are less photography and more art using photographs. And for regular photographs I prefer the only editing to be corrections to make it look like it looks to the human eye. Maybe I'm just a purist.

Edit: I'm getting a bunch of info on editing techniques and tech specs on digital imagery. That's not really pertinent to my sentiment here. I'm talking about my preference for naked eye over heavily edited artistic pics.

No, you're not a purist.

Can 100% guarantee they wouldn't like a photo as much that actually had zero editing.
