I am not saying that you don't need technique to take good pictures. I am just saying that technology plays a large part in helping photographer to take good pictures. Such as auto-focus, exposure metering, and so on. There is no auto-chord for guitar, or auto-scale for piano unless you are playing XBox. You can't take a guitar today and expect to play anything tomorrow. With a camera, you can take *something*. So let me recap: technology plays a larger part for photography and yes, you need skill and years of practice to be great photographers. It is the initial learning curve if you think about it. I happen to have a hand-held recorder that comes with an adapter to connect it to a mic stand. And this recorder happens to be able to get mounted onto a tripod too. Hence that weird photo ... lol.

I beg to differ on the point about photography. I have noticed from many examples that the same machine put in different pairs of hands can turn out very different results. It is not only about the technicalities of using the correct settings, but the photographer needs to see the picture even before he puts his eye to look through the viewfinder.
