>>3967121I didn't find any of it excessive, it's SOP for a photography course and thoughtful, methodical compositions using a tripod and copious notes are how you improve. When people talk about film making one a better photographer, that's why.
Cargo cultists think it's a magic box and that a spontaneous act produces a good final image when the reality is that it's witchcraft. They copy the material but not the ritual components and fail to penetrate the Mystery. Their praxis is void and it shows in their work.
