99.9% of an image has more to do with your choice of subject, exposure, composition, and aesthetics--in other words, who you are as a photographer, what it means to engage in the process of taking pictures, and what energy you bring to it--and that last 0.1% might have to do with these technical minutiae and navel-gazing discussions over \"organic\" vs. \"digital\" or \"3D\" vs. \"everything else.\"
A well known, very highly regarded professor/artist of photography I know, at one of the country\'s top universities (i.e., he\'s very good), takes a group of students on a photographic summer school each summer to a fancy place in Europe.
