Close Colin. Yes you can learn about shutter speed and aperature, but to really comprehend it and use it effectively is the key. This would mean a very solid understanding of their functions in relation to each other and to other elements of photography. By my observations in the workshops I've held, this is not always the case.

The artistic part is the beauty of photography, the expression and the limitless possibilities are truly awesome. A good picture often encompases sound basic skills and rules. If they don't necessarily follow those basics and rules they should have at least have had consideration of basic skills and rules before breaking them.

But my concern with the trend in photography is that people will start shooting mediocre photos and "fix" it in photoshop. It gives a false belief that everyone can be a good photographer.
