Here Here, You've got it exactly right. Compose (both hands and tripod),
focus (45 or whatever point auto with full time manual over ride--Left
hand), and exposure (with quick dial adjustment as necessary--Right hand).
Simple, with EOS making focusing and exposure more accurate for us idiots.
Now, the bad composition... I guess that's my fault.
Cheers, JD
