I have a friend that is an amazing photographer.  <a href="https://digital-photography-school.com/author/brucewunderlich/" target="_blank">https://digital-photography-school.com/author/brucewunderlich/</a>  I love to be around him when he is doing his thing as I always pick up something I can use even though to me it's not really about the process. Sometimes I will take my time, adjust my settings, if it's not right, do it again and again. I don't want this to come across wrong........it's not my thing. I do have a nice camera.......the nicest thing is it gets me in places. People see the camera and think you know what you are doing. It is most certainly great to know what you are doing. Bruce doesn't even think about it. It's automatic. It's cool to watch.  I did not know this guy until I walked up to ask him about what he was doing. I don't want to say "I don't know you but would you sit still for a picture while I adjust these settings"? I can show up with my 70-200 2.8 and people will get out of the way also. Even a quick, I need to get this shot is better than what I can do on my cell phone or something. For me, it's the experience far more than the process. BUT it's great that so many here can explain the process.   I gave him a few dollars and told him I would try and get his some exposure. I'll post a pic on Facebook now and then......if I get 25 likes, I'm glad that many people liked it. If I get 100 I'm trying to figure out why. I posted his pic and a little story last night and there is over 1000 likes and shares. That is what I was after.   Hopefully he sells a lot of paintings, people tell him they saw his picture on Facebook and I can then ask him to sit for a more proper pic.</blockquote>
