Shooting with it is about as Anti-technique as you can get.

I think the iconic single standalone image is basically dead, for a bunch of reasons.<br />amolitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15743439184763617516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-654754338632526091.post-34415026566023118772016-05-07T15:52:01.352-07:002016-05-07T15:52:01.352-07:00From what I've read here so far, your emphasis...From what I've read here so far, your emphasis seems to be on sets of pictures, on projects. Ansel Adams, however, is an exponent of the traditional approach - the single picture as a masterpiece. If you focus on sets of pictures, the individual picture is far less important; important is how the pictures work together and if a picture supports your intended narrative. <br /><br />Harald Mante's work comes to mind (a German photographer and retired professor of the Dortmund University for Design, he almost excusively works in terms of series of pictures). I once attended one of his workshops - he showed us lovely portfolios of his consisting of 10x15 cm drugstore prints, taken with an APS-C camera with kit lens. I wouldn't be surprised if he shot JPEG. He told us that pursuing that single master photograph is a recipe for frustration.
