You don't get to "work" a venue like you can with a digital SLR. As the LUG experienced with me the multiple times I had to go back and shoot my "Remembering Guy Blase" image ( http://www.rgaphoto.com/benches/content/2011_09_24_GusBlase_MASTER_PANO_WestView_large.html ) multiple times before getting the image. When the light turns good, you don't have the time to frame, bracket shoot, move and reframe and shoot another set of bracketed shots. Sometimes taking your time and pre-visualizing can be a wonderful experience. Other times I wish I could work a subject from multiple vantage points while the light cooperates. I love the slow cognitive work for landscapes. I love being able to work a subject for portrait shots. Different tools for different folks; we are lucky to live at such an amazing time for our passion of photography!
