I do go for dramatic effect, arguably even to a flaw in some opinions. I like how I shoot. I like how it looks and if someone reading my posts does as well there are explainations on how I go about getting that look in my shots. It's just a hobby for me so I enjoy sharing my experience.

No acrimony meant or felt.
When talking to a noob, I want him/her to understand the full range of photography, so that's why I keep responding to your posts. I see large-aperture primes as a niche tool. OTOH, zooms are tools that maximize versatility.
I go for well composed realism most of the time. I use bokeh, HDR, slow-shutter blur, etc. as tools in my bag, but my overwhelming desire is to convey "being there." What did my eye see is where I start. I'm a huge believer in, "f/8 and be there." I look for beauty and try to capture it and seldom try to make something out of nothing or make something more interesting that it really is.
