I started a blog post about this exact thing in April. One crisis after another has kept me from finishing it, but I -think- life is calming down now, so hopefully I'll get it published in the next week or so.
I shoot almost all of the photos and video for the blog (and youTube) with my iPhone. When I can, I stabilize it on a Manfrotto tripod. I have a Canon 40D, a Canon Elan 2, a Canon AE-1 and a Bronica ETRS 645 medium format camera. All of those cameras have never been on green square or program modes unless they were in DH's hands. I shoot 100% on manual when using them - even action shots like dirtbike racers - which means a lot of headless riders and back tires on a bad day.
In addition to all of that, I still have a fully functional wet darkroom in the basement, complete with stinky chemicals. I just wish I could find some time to make use of the film stuff lately.

Wow! It appears that you're not only a sewing machine expert but a photographer as well. Please keep us updated when your blog post is finished and link it. I know I'd really be interested in what you have to say.

I wouldn't say expert. High seated amateur. 
My focus for years with the cameras was landscape photography, there are a few articles on the blog about exposure and some camera basics (not in techie speak - I think). They're old articles from back when I didn't shoot digitally, but the physics that a camera works on haven't changed, only the medium used.
