[QUOTE="Bikerbrent, post: 600853, member: 42081"] I had a learning edge in that I had to learn to do everything manual. I started out in serious photography with my fathers Argus C3 in the early 1960's. You had no choice to to do everything manual including using a handheld light-meter and actual 1-time use flash bulbs! I even had the opportunity to use a 4"x5" sheet film view camera a few times, that was quite interesting. Thus, today, I can really appreciate the modern conveniences and all the gains that have been made in photography. But I also recognize their shortcomings also. Learn all that you can. If you get the chance, try a hand held light-meter, try some film photography. Your modern digital photography will improve the more you can learn. Do learn by doing everything possible in full manual mode, from exposure to flash, then use the modern features when appropriate. [/QUOTE]
