Hi Andrew, I think that you may have misread what I said about this. I agreed that DSLRs make it easier to get the right exposure and check focus etc . It's just that I don't see these issues as technically challenging. For most professional photographers they are just one of a number of skills that I would have thought to be part and parcel of the job description and not a 'challenge'. The challenge is often to make a silk purse out of a sows ear using as many tricks and techniques as possible.With highly technical shots these techniques have less to do with the basic calculations / mechanics of photography than the (often) bizarre and esoteric devices employed to manipulate the subject matter.
