I've seen some wonderful images from guys here recently and like David, I mean no disrespect...........I guess I come from the "old school" where I had no in camera metering, I looked at the subject, the available light and the general environment.....set the aperture and speed, framed the shot and presto. If working with B&W I had the luxury and satisfaction of manipulating the processing to get a specific result.
I recently purchased a 40D (my first DSLR) to hang off my 'scope but while "playing around" with it I realised just how much I've traded knowledge and skill for convenience
