The other issues for me are non-technical, and in many ways personal. I know many people that take huge numbers of images per day, they shoot very quickly in what I would call a “photojournalist style”. Some of them produce outstanding work. This style clearly works for them.
This style does not work for me. I find that I always do better if I slow down, if I take my time and if I study my subject carefully. This leads me not only to better compositions and better technique, but I also find that I am thoroughly prepared and ready for the “magic moment” when the light is just right and everything coalesces into the creation of a special image.
While many people find the view camera process a hassle, I find it to be the most satisfying way to capture an image. To me, few things compare with the pleasure of seeing that upside-down/left-right reversed image on the groundglass, the pleasure of adjusting the image with all the mechanical precision settings in the camera, the pleasure of observing and carefully measuring the light, and finally that magic moment when I release the shutter. No, I do not like the weight and bulk of the equipment, but I will gladly pay that price for the pleasure of the process and the quality of the final image.
In spite of all the wonderful digital tools available to the Photographer today, a properly captured image always looks better to me than a digitally corrected image.
Therefore, since I know no better way to capture an image than using a View Camera, it will continue to be my tool of choice for Landscape Photography.

Illusion
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honours the servant and has forgotten the gift." -A. Einstein
If you look at below images from your seat in front of the computer, Mr. Angry is on the left, and Ms.Calm is on the right. Get up from your seat, and move back 12 feet, and PRESTO!! they switch places!!
It is said this illusion was created by Phillippe G.Schyns and Aude Oliva of the University of Glasgow .
Does this prove that we sometimes may not be seeing what's actually there?

Cannot be so right at the moment!!! - 苦浪漫
www.haoting.com/htmusic/2980ht.htm
曲: 馮正
詞: 周禮茂
編: BILLY CHAN
夜已爛 朋友轉眼
已經鳥獸散
一個人 像值班 快樂極有限
獨自歸 未願返 深宵太媛慢
不經意 望見你雙眼
在角落 神態雖淡
卻寫滿怨嘆
一個人 獨自撐 痛愈難發難
*恨願分 怒願擔 心傷既同患
一起去 渡最冷的冷*
容這夜晚 少兩個弧單 營造甜又苦浪漫
你要哭 我聽你痛哭 只須哭得比我燦爛
夜暗淡 人世多冷 慣不慣去慣?
失意人 別落單 切莫原處站
REPEAT*
容這夜晚 少兩個孤單 營造甜又苦浪漫
你要哭 我聽你痛哭 只須哭聲中再現歡顏
容這夜晚 少兩個孤單 投入甜又苦浪漫
我要哭 你聽我痛哭 只須哭聲中散盡憂煩
容這夜晚 少兩個孤單 投入甜又苦浪漫
兩個哭 最終會結束 即使只得一刻不怨嘆
這一夜 知不會循還
仍衷心希望你 快樂仍能習慣
