That's what I want. I am not there yet, since I am still learning, I am still naturally thinking about the camera a bit more than I would like. I've done a lot of drawing. So, at this point in time, the pencil becomes an extension of my eye and hand. Sure, I use the side or tip of the pencil, but without thinking about it too much. It's sort of automatic. Basically the pencil becomes "transparent" to my drawing experience. I want this same thing from a camera (some day). For it to become an extension of my eyes and hands (not sure how that will work with a tripod) -- as automatic and as transparent as possible to my photography experience. But the experience is primary. The results are also primary (without results I probably wouldn't indulge in the experience in the first place -- i.e., the process). IMHO, they can't really be divorced from one another. For me, only a good experience will yield good results. Doe aka Marnie Hmmm, guess I did differ somewhat from what you said.
