[photo-3d] Re: in a hurry photography (caution: contains strong opinion)

[Pixschack@xxxxxxx]

In my opinion, an automatic camera in the hands of a knowledgeable 
photographer is a plus because he will know when to trust the camera and when 
not to.  He can use the automation to his advantage.  The same system in the 
hands of a novice who gives the camera free reign will yield a high 
percentage of failed shots.

It's analogous to the use of a light meter.  Blindly follow the meter 
readings and you will get many badly exposed pictures.  Know how to interpret 
the readings and the success increases.

No degree of automation will ever make the novice equal to the knowledgeable 
photographer.  Which is a damn good thing for those of us who make a living 
taking pictures!
