The Pursuit of Technique
He started a list of things to know, it barely scratched the surface as he admits:
Allow me to name just a very few of the many things you might think you need to know: exposure; focus accuracy and depth-of-field; camera handling; camera performance (everything from data throughput to focus tracking, from EVF refresh rate to weather resistance); what a hair light is and what a gobo is; color space; printer profiles; how to predict the phase and direction of the moon…in case you want to do evening or dawn landscapes including the natural moon within a limited time window; and how focal length relates to angle of view.
To me, that would cover less than 1% of what one needs to know – and there’s a lot in there.
