Indeed Tamlin, that is something i very much agree with... that just buying a super-expensive camera is not going to make you take masterful photos... And I agree that all cameras are capable of producing outstanding images in the right hands!
Learning what the camera sees is certainly something that Ansel had more of a need for than digital photographers... with digital we can simply shoot, evaluate and delete... Ansel had to predict what the image would look like since he would not be able to see it until many hours after he had left the location. His experience and expertise, knowledge, and dedication really show through in his work.
As for Photoshop, well, we all know even it has it's limitations. But it certainly opens up possibilities for us average people, that Ansel seems to have had no need for.
Mike.
