He skirted around some interesting points, but to me just came off as a pretentious twit. He is correct that you shouldn't be spending your time and energy on a shoot obsessing about technique. The reason for that is that you should have your theory and technique down so bloody cold that 90% of the time you don't have to think about it, you think about what you want the picture to be, and you just know how to do it. The other 10% of the time you should be out there trying new things and pushing boundaries so that you have to think about what you are doing, and your technical skill is growing in the process. At the moment, I'm afraid I have it inverted. 90% of the time, when I think about what I want to do, I'm pushing my technical knowledge and have to think about how to actually do it. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
