Right?<<< ============ Hi Jayanand, "I'm going to say, "YES!!" As first step! However that doesn't mean one should not have everything else that goes with making an interesting correctly exposed and processed photographic print! Shouldn't be the best possible!" It all works hand in glove without all the techie crap thingies overriding the points that make a "grab your heart and emotions photograph!" I mean surely it doesn't take some of these people two pounds of brains to understand everything works together to make the magic happen? It isn't one! There are all kinds of parameters to a make a smashing great photograph, if you severely drop the ball on one of them it can or could destroy the overall impact. The key to success is.... "DON'T DWELL ON EVERY TIDDLYWINK ITEM INDIVIDUALLY!" See - shoot and it's in the can with the least amount of thought process. And yes some types of assignments require a bunch of other stuff that really has nothing to do directly with going.... "click!" You eventually learn these things when working as a professional and earning your livelihood! It's not just one thing that makes it brilliant! No matter how one wants to break them down in some kind of order! cheers, Dr .ted
