damn here i go dropping some info for the greater good and dont get any props? the rest of this thread is on some bullshit not even related to photography, stick to the script yall,
Photography is an ART, takin pictures is a hobby, If you use the AUTO setting to take your pics you are not an artist in the photography sence, however your end reslut may be very artistic so the lines are kinda grey, but this whole digital relm of photography made this shit so easy now everyone thinks they are a pro. Take it back to film and see where you are, thats the true art in my opinion, framing the perfect shot cuz you got limited resources, taking a whole roll of film to get the one pic your looking for, developing it, then exposing it on paper. Shit is a huge process. Taking night shots on film cost me time and $$$ to figure out, but on digital it's just the cost of charging your battery.
I aint saying this to talk shit to anyone on here, thats already been done enough, just keep it about the art and check your egos at the door.
