If filters, or like, make just anything with reality in photography
what you see when you get sunglasses on? If it is not reality any more, please test it between rails when you see the train is coming. Do not worry it is not reality, just a small test.
When ever such a topic comes guys run into metaphisic and go up to black hole with "philosophy". But we forget what are properties of photography are: say outline (no details at all within and no hand ever can make it).
What is photography concerning "reality" you need not a long: just think when, why, and who invented photography. That should be enough.
End for Roger H.: the moment when a driver turned away is a real moment. The truck was where it was, your coment is just a reason why truck was there (i can add one more example: what it will looks like if there was no trafic light where photo camera is pointed? but the light is there, so). The scene was a true moment in this universe, and you snapped it.
