@ewen that 'P' mode sitting at f13 and 1/200s is really the worst of all possible worlds

@ewen I wish someone explained me that lenses are more important (and why) than the camera when I started.

Also back in the day I was all about sharp images. And I thought “closing down the aperture to oblivion helps”. No it does not (diffraction, motion blur, noise)

@holger @ewen i was on the other extreme: i would get the fastest lens possible and always shoot wide open, even in broad daylight, to get the “sharpest” images free from motion blur and noise. i wish someone had told me about the reciprocal rule, the advantages of a deeper field, and how the exposure triangle is about balance and tradeoffs for different scenes, not picking a corner and sticking to it religiously
