My initial comment was made as I value the discussions of technique far
more than the "Geek Wars" over technology issues. Many of the books I see are
more inclined to promote digital photography from the standpoint that the
technique of photography is secondary and the gadgetry is primary, and that a
prepoderance of gadgetry will overcome a lack of technique.
This is not something that is entirely new. A couple of the nature
photography books I have are obviously sponsored by Nikon as that is all the
equipment to be seen. The books by people such as Heather Angel are far better
balanced as the focus is entirely on technique.
