exactly, it's surprisingly easy to get lure into a flash sense of security with digital, I was so used to being able to able to figure out the exposure setting I needed to get just the one shot, that once using a digital, everything's on automatic, a bit scary it has to be said.
The white balance is a new addition I have to learn now, before it was simply a choice of either daylight/flash film or tungsten film, and now we got Photoshop because digitalised photo never look nice straight off the wagon since it look very flat and dull to start with (finally got the hang of sorting that out luckily).
I know a mate who love Photoshop more than taking photos even, FFS (and yes, that's my same aim to get the shot as perfect as I can instead of relying on Photoshop to fix it for me, after all, I have to with film really since I have no choice, unless I get the negative scanned in high quality TIFF format*).
*Tim Walker is a great example of that, he spend age planning and sorting the shot out, and never once has been digitally manipulated.
