We all do what the existing technologies - and our individual skills - allow us to do. I often strip colour from an image recorded in full colour both because I can and because it suits me. Fred's example eliminated a mechanical stand, mine often remove colour. It's not important; it's the picture that counts. Unless you are recording something - like one being shot, as photographed by Robert Capa perhaps? How right Marilyn is!

The photographer had attempted to remove it in the darkroom, not too successfully. Nothing is new as we found out in John Burton's and now Fred's presentation, we are just using different tools! And why not? Talking of digital jiggery-pokery, early on in his presentation Fred showed us a photo of a man on a bike and you could see a stand very faintly holding up the bike.
