A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

The same with TTL flash. I saw someone on Facebook insisting that if you were a professional you didn’t use TTL and thought “do you want to tell Joe McNally he’s not a professional or shall I?” It’s a tool, sometimes it’s the correct tool, sometimes it isn’t.

Exactly that, tools are there to be used so why complicate things by constantly changing settings during a shoot?

I agree that when you start out it is good to stick to manual to see how to balance an image. Understanding the fundamentals is important with photography but use the tools you’ve got at your disposal
