My point is that slowing down and thinking about each shot is a tool, as is manually focusing, autofocusing, manually setting the exposure, TAv mode, Av mode, Hyperprogram, high ISO, available light, image stabilization and using a tripod. The biggest mistake you can make is that any one of these tools is applicable in all situations, for all people. I shouldn't be amazed at how often I see people projecting their own experiences on to other people with the assumption that they are universal truths. I think that learning to slow down and think your shots is a critical skill that is nearly as important as knowing when you need to shoot lots of frames to make sure that you get the shot. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
