I'm sorry Jeff, but I wasn't going to contribute anymore to this thread,
but this post simply cannot go without comment!
By your assumption, you seem to presume that by getting a non-auto
camera, one is 'throwing one's child into the deep end'. I outright
refute that suggestion! In no way would I do that to my, or any child, or
in fact anyone learning from me. I have always had the privelage of
teaching people the principles of photography and/or film-making in a
gentle manner, which in no way sees anyone 'thrown off the end of the
dock'. I think you will find that ANYONE who knows their stuff would NOT
do this to someone learning.
Obviously I can only confirm my own case, but I think your posting more
or less tars all the 'manuals' with the same brush there, and I can only
tell you that you are most definately wrong!
Again, I say: any technique with teaching *can* work. The world would
indeed be a boring place if we were all the same...
Ha-blooming-rumph!
