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.

Being a professional is more about how you conduct yourself than the exact way you take a photo.

My pro manual argument for myself is that it's actually one more variable to deal with in terms of getting the images to look exactly how I want.

ISO/Aperture/Shutter Speed

OR (using A-mode as the example) - ISO/Aperture/Exposure Compensation/Metering mode.

And if I make a mistake in manual, it's my fault and I can learn from it. If the camera guesses the scene wrong, it will never learn.
