Lots of photography can be done by experiment instead of by understanding the underlying theory. I'm interested in the theory myself, but when I'm actually shooting pictures I'll go for the empirical results whenever that looks convenient. (Digital has greatly improved the ability to solve hard problems in photography by trial and error, of course.) I'm very much a techy photographer. I don't have much background or even much vocabulary to talk about the "art stuff" (which I've been trying to do bits of work on now and then, as has been evident in a few threads here). -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
