Despite, or perhaps because of the wizardry, there is an element of charlatanry ( which is the curse of our age) that enables us to gerrymander our photos rather than rely on our individual skill to get acceptable results. So that taking pictures becomes secondary to getting a shot that can be altered according to requirements. The picture I have posted was taken with the camera set at Auto against some budding rose bushes, whereas in the past, I would have had to arrange the settings for myself.Quote:
