There are 10s of millions of people who have your 'list' memorized, and with it they churn out utterly banal crap. There are a handful of people who turn out photographs worth looking at - and many of them often ignore one or more of the items on your list. And btw - "f8 and be there" is equally foolish - except that it's obvious that if one isn't 'there,' one can't get a particular image. End of discussion as far as I'm concerned.
