I am not trying to pick a fight or generalize too much about photographers shooting/processing habits- to each his or her own. I do, however, see, read and hear about so many photographers' dependence on automation and technology as opposed to using simple time-honored techniques. It's all right here on the forum.
Funny, what I see most in this forum is so many photographer's dependence on time-honored techniques instead of taking advantage of all the wonderful new technology of today. But I don't care, because it doesn't matter.

My philosophy and methodology is a holdover or a throwback to my 50 years in the darkroom where an optimum quality negative always made for the highest quality prints in the least amount of time.
Why do you believe that has changed in any way? Did you spend 50 years in the darkroom because you didn't compose carefully or focus/expose correctly?
