As a technically-inclined person, I picked up photography back in the early 2000s, and I went all the way in terms of trying to achieve something that others thought was great. I eventually did start producing decent photos, but it took inordinately more work than getting the technical details right was. There is a technical aspect in photography, but it's weight compared to the remaining aspects is about the same as the weight of a fly compared to that of an elephant. The elephant being: figuring out what smart people will like, and what matters.
