Let The Camera Do Its Work
Let the camera do the work. We have all the options we need in a camera to make
great photos why override them and bother with manual operation. Let the camera
do it's work.
Once we attain freedom from worry about exposure and focus, capture speed and
camera shake (we let the cameras auto functions take over) we free ourselves to
concentrate on making art. We become the non-objective artist who paints from the
heart and the emotions. We let it flow, we let it happen.
Like the modern painter, we need not worry about perspective, convergence,
distortion, or blur, we are making art from the soul, art from the emotions; we see art
in every tree, cloud, building, face, ripple, and even in the wind. We let the camera
do its work and we, as an artist, are free to do ours.

A hammer in the wrong hands could never build a house.
There are many kinds of art to be sure but if you would publish your photography or intend to make
marketable photography to sell to magazines and newspapers you might need to develop some
technical skills unless you are already famous in some other field
. Marketable photos in magazines, newspapers, or text books are technically sound with even exposure
and easily understood story-telling impact. You must evenly expose your photos with no dark shadows
or extreme contrast and you should have sharp focus throughout, although the current style is to have
motion blur and soft focus. Art photography is another field altogether although technical skill and
artistic ability combined can lead to great photography. Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, to name two of
the icons who were both technician and artist.
