You're wrong. I never said or hinted at what you infer here. I did not, or
have not inferred such. I ~did~ insist we talk about manual flash instead of
the "what ifs" put forth to fend off answering my question regarding "manual
flash."
Too many times, and your response here adds to the observation, someone
gratuitously chimes into something that does not involve them. As my remarks
were not addressed to you, you might have simply observed where the
conversation was headed.
Again, just because I'm opinionated, does not, at the same time, mean I can't
be corrected. Had you yourself wanted to add to the "manual flash" tangent
the thread had taken, instead of attempting to upbraid me, we might have
moved on to something else. But you insisted...
And I'll say it again: knowing manual flash photography can get you out of
trouble when your TTL or automatic flashes fail. That is what you needed to
dispute. Moreover, there are times when TTL or "automatic" flash will not
produce the desired results where manual flash will.
Over dependence on TTL or "automatic" flash has meant lousy results for too
many. Not being able to shoot manual flash means that too many times,
otherwise competent photographers have to pass up shots, especially in early
morning and late evening.
