Subject: Re: Understanding exposure? Recommendations?
Well, I can say from experience that experience and knowledge are worth at
least as much as a winch to a 4x4'er. Where a tyro will get stuck with all
that exotic traction control stuff an expert can often simply drive
through in a stock flat-fender jeep. Until you have ridden with an expert
you have no idea what difficult terrain a 4x4 can actually handle.
Once again skill is worth twice as much as all the expensive toys.
I am still chuckling about how this thread has morphed from someone trying
to learn the nuts and bolts of exposure more or less being told, by some
experienced photographers who know this stuff well enough that they have
forgotten how well they know it, that it doesn't matter, into a thread about
4x4 vehicles where more or less the same mindset is at play.
I suppose it's the teacher in me that finds it rather sad.
