[QUOTE="Fabrefaction, post: 640214, member: 44091"] I think he likes tooting his own horn a little too much... especially as I am not sure he actually has a clue about photography. I mean how do you travel all that way to a remote location and not have the right lens with you? It is the most basic of things you check that you have along with a charged battery. Apart from that, I don't agree with him, you can't just trust the camera to take a shot, my D3100, if left on Program, has a horrible ability to white out everything. Nor can you "save" all baldy exposed pictures in RAW. A totally whited out image just won't have the detail to save. Same with a hugely underexposed image because the sensor just did not have the time to actually capture the detail. At the end of the day, settings are important! I don't know about anyone else but I learnt how to take photographs by following other peoples settings. I would spend hours going through sites like 500px and writing down the settings of shots that I liked then taking my camera out and trying them out. It is how I learnt to read light and learnt how all the settings in my camera worked. I am not even going to touch him saying that photography is now about only about PP. There is also still a skill level required with the actual camera. [/QUOTE]
