[photo-3d] In a Hurry Photography

[Herbert C Maxey <bmaxey1@xxxxxxxx>]

Who here remembers when there were no auto focus cameras? I do. At one
time, photography was a real chore, compared to now. Photography is far
simpler now than in the good old days. People took great photographs,
though. They did not consider loading plates and sheet film a hassle, or
loading a roll film camera where film was manually threaded.

They used filters and they understood photography better.

For me, there is a great difference between what was done years ago
compared to today. I think photographers who can't determine exposure for
example, to be nothing less than snapshot takers. You all have seen these
"Great" photographers that shoot dozens of roll of film to get that
"Perfect" image. Photographers who bracket entire rolls of film to make
sure that their image is properly exposed. GREAT PHOTOGRAPHERS never had
to do this in the past, but it is commonplace these days.

If you want to use an AF Camera to take stereo images, I certainly won't
deride you for it. However, photography - Great Photography is never a
simple thing. It takes knowledge and experience to do correctly.

MY 2 CENTS FOR THE DAY,
