[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 223418, member: 11653"] Thinking about the way I have changed taking photos with the newest technology I realize I think strategically most of the time now, and less tactically. If I am going out in the early evening I make the choices before I get there... Single ISO or Auto ISO, whatMax ISO, and what min ISO ( this takes care of the blurring). Is there reason to turn on moving multi point focus. So then, when I start shooting, usually I don't have to worry about it. I have blinkies turned on, so I can tell if I lost highlights. Take exposures on a typical trip... Unless I hit some extreme conditions. The camera will perfectly nail the exposure... 99 times out of a hundred. I don't understand the comment on take control and I might be able to expose better? It nails it, perfectly. I almost never have to adjust the exposure in Lightroom. I do have to adjust the light and dark sliders.... Usually exactly the same amount... Proving the exposure is perfect. Focus I think is perfect 19 out of 20 times. I agree that to can control each aspect can be key, but very seldom is it necessary. If you doing macro work, weddings... You just have to. But for general architecture, street, nature, landscape, you can adjust setting for the session and then mostly forget about it. Then you can concentrate on getting the shot, instead of fiddling with the camera. The better the camera gets the more you can back off. Great, I got what I wanted from this thread... I thought through how I use contemporary cameras compared to earlier and film cameras and confirmed what I suspected, a lot of folks like to fiddle more than I do. JD [/QUOTE]
