And that does state the similarities to the mechanics of the two types of shooting; photography and firearms. But even I, a confessed snap-shooter, must admit that just using these basics you may get technically good photographic shots but you will know very little about photography or photographic art. Where as these similar skills will make you an excellent shot; an expert. Shooting firearms is easy. Photography is hard; for me anyway. Art >Alan Hull wrote: > >> Mentally similar?
