geometry, perspective, light, optics, all this are fields that come from science. With digital photography it's even more accurate.

But of course it makes better and easier quality pictures, even with knowing nothing you can rely on the camera for light exposure, focus, sensitivity, aperture...

But when looking to pictures that were taken with manual exposure, black and white film a long time ago, i cannot stop thinking we often miss the goal nowadays. because pictures we take forget to transcend reality.

thanks for your comment. Hopefully i think that the probability of having a great picture only by pressing a button is still very low... That is good for us. i like your cat pictures by the way. - posted by Oliviermeerson on July 08, 2008
Well Olivier, you couldn't be more right.... Digital photography is making life much easier indeed; however it reduces the true value of each and every picture… Now everybody can call themselves "photographers" no previous background required…. – just grab your digital camera and start clicking (no thinking required neither….)
