Re: A more outrageous question

I saw this on a french photo magazine once:

" american photographers always meter the light before taking a picture, french photographers afterwards"

This implied that they could loose some photos if they were unsure about the exposure, so that could get in the way :)

So Mario,

Are you saying that if I let them get in the way, they will? So It takes a concious effort on MY part to keep them out of the way?

Must I think about doing this when shooting?

The topic was whether rules, formulae, statistics and technical knowledge of all things photographic could ever, conceivably, get in the way of taking a great photograph.
