| I think anything that streches us creatively is a worthwhile endeavor. I turned off auto-preview and have been shooting a lot more in full manual, and I find that it keeps me more focused and in tune with the camera. It is less like the camera is taking the pictures and I'm checking on it, and more like the camera is an extension of me.
Anyways, while the ability to preview on-the-fly is certainly a nice one, I think things that are too easy cripple our creative process sometimes, so making it harder can make us branch out a bit, and at the very least have a different perspective and value on the way the camera automates things. |
