Abstract - I'd argue that this is subject matter. "I don't know what it is - it must be abstract!" =)
B&W - photography precedence/technique
Blur - Also subject matter, if the blur is what you're featuring
Digital Art - this is only because this is a photography site, so "non photography" goes here. =)
Diptych/Triptych - I admit this is not subject matter, but it's a special case with photographic precedence. And often having three images is integral to the message/story
Infrared - photography precedence
Macro - standard photography category, not a PP technique
Textures - this is subject matter
I'm not disagreeing with you. I'm just saying that each of the above has it's reasons, mostly associated with traditional photography.
HDR is becoming a popular digital technique and may at some point merit a category. But I still lean toward the original argument that HDR is too "processing technique oriented" |
