There’s technique, equipment and essence. You seem to favor the essence, the process and final output in a practical or esthetic sense. I am like you as well. B

There’s technique, equipment and essence. You seem to favor the essence, the process and final output in a practical or esthetic sense. I am like you as well. But even that last part can suffer the same divide where an interminable theoretical discussion can be had around it. I think in the end we gravitate towards what we’re good at and what ticks our minds. Luckily there is a variety of minds and modes of thinking

> There’s technique, equipment and essence. A nice pyramid way to phrase it. As for any other thing, people may have an innate fit for a certain position within, but my belief if that people usually develop in all dimensions. Not everyone will need to develop their film or buy a medium format digital camera though.

  There's a lot of triangular relationships in photography, and maybe I'm just trying to hard to see it. There's the exposure triangle with aperture, shutter speed, ISO. There's the triangular shapes in framing/composing the frame that makes the image "interesting" in how it draws the eye. There's also the Rule of Thirds, but while not a triangle it is still "3" related the "technique, equipment, essence" threesome got me on this tangent
