Fully Auto...no filter/settings/tripod
Feb 14, 2018 10:16:03 #
I have been taking pictures since the late 60's. Only once did I use a tripod...Buckingham Fountain in Chicago. Not once have I touched the settings except P/A. It's so easy to delete pictures you may not like like somebody/thing got in the way at the last minute. Why worry about it. NOBODY that has ever seen my pictures has said: "That picture looks like it was taken in auto!?" Life is too short to worry about it. Thats why a tv remote/automatic trans/ micro instead of oven/remote instead of car key. I have a Canon T3I and tomorrow will get a new Canon T7I that will also never come out of A/P. Thoughts?

It's fine if that is what you prefer. You are missing out on getting great photos as opposed to great ones, though.

illiniitt, I'm not sure I agree with your premise but your analogies are spot-on, as are the pix.
Excellent subject for debate - hope the glitterati on UHH come thru.
Thanks.

Keep doing exactly what you are doing and ignore any criticism from the trolls!

If photographers don't want a blurry background (portrait) or a fast shutter speed for sports, Auto mode is fine for general photography.

I use a microwave 100% of the time. I have been on my own since 1967....in any of the places I have lived since then...the oven has remained off. In fact....I keep my pots and pans (for on top of the stove) in the over to store. I have never drove an automatic at 69 years old. For a single guy...microwave is the best invention ever...along with A/P mode on cameras! Over the years....all the cameras I've had....I never read the manual.
