All true...it is purely technical and can be mastered. My particular problem however, is translating what I see in three dimensions into two dimensions, BEFORE I snap the shutter.
I spend a lot of time and effort to set something up and think that it looks great, until I see the result.
Thank heavens for digital cameras...they really help with this.
My other problem is to snap the shutter at EXACTLY the right moment, especially when you're working with a small child.
Your employment of the "kazoo maneuver" (posted elsewhere) is brilliant here! Can't wait to try it.
