While many of us appreciate the technical side of things, and while some of
us choose, MF, AF, metering TTL or handheld, in the end the only thing that
counts is whether we like the results. Most of us also care a wee bit about
whether anyone else likes the results.
I've noticed for quite a while that you can have all the head knowledge in
the world about film, photography, cameras and that doesn't make a great
shot. Apply that knowledge to your shooting and combine it with artistic
vision, and you'll get some great shots. Heck, you may have virtually no
knowledge and still get some great shots if you have the eye for what looks
good and the ability to capture what excites you on film, in a way that it
still excites you and others when you look at it again, and then again.
