[QUOTE="john*thomas, post: 609471, member: 16937"] I have a friend that is an amazing photographer all around. He's able to get some pretty good money for the pictures he takes. He's very, very good all around. Getting the settings perfect with the camera and even more perfect with his software. I hate shooting with him. LOL. I always pick something up and he's is never condescending (unless he catches someone shooting in auto) LOL. I simply do not care enough to take all the trouble. I'm not arguing that is good, it just is what it is. I'm more interested in the experience. We shot a guy that does a fire act not long ago. It was after dark and around 15 degrees out. Not the best setting. He put on a really good show. My friend had his tri-pod set up with all his setting pre set by getting there early. I was too busy checking out the other things going on. I was as interested in watching the show as getting pics. In the end, yes his pictures were better. I had a really good time. He probably did also. My point......do what makes you happy. Don't worry about that others claim or what they do unless they are doing something you really want to do and are having a hard time getting there. Hand held with it being 15 degree's outside, I was really happy. It was a really good show.
