That's a teaching or learning issue in my opinion. Having been to several workshops in recent weeks, it shocks me how poorly some very knowledgeable and experienced photographers are at presenting, at articulating what they know and do correctly. Most are simply not very good at it. People trying to learn the material are often confused by what they hear ... and for good reason. > It depends in the end on how keen people are really to learn what > to do. In all cases, yes.
