The concentration needs to happen before, and not during the photograph.

For those who have real skill, maybe we don't have to worry about the technical aspects while we are taking photographs because they are second nature. I worry about capturing an image that matches my desire, and then do what I have to do to capture it beforehand. I feel that I am extremely good with exposure, why? Because I shoot with Velvia and there is no room for error. Do I worry about exposure when I take photos, no because there is no time. I make sure to have all of my ducks in a row before, and then let my heart do the rest.

I spent a lot of time and film to get my skills so I don't have to worry about them today. You are so caught up on the academic point of view for photography that the only thing you have to talk about are little nitpicks on other photos.

Until you start posting your quality photographs, you are only a little man behind a computer and not a photographer.

You are getting emotional and personal when you should be sticking to contradicting the points in my posting in a logical manner if you don't agree with them. That is what any discussion is all about. People reading may want to learn something from our views, whether they agree with them or not.
