Program shift allows you to shift through the possible exposures for a given EV on most cameras. Very useful when the program comes up with something you don't want. On the D however it's HyperProgram, and it jumps you into either Aperture Priority or Shutter Priority depending on which you

Hi! What were you trying to achieve? Shel, I have this old ongoing idea of mine - to show a graceful powerful animal (such as tiger) in captivity... This time I wanted to make it look somewhat unusual... Unusual as in the way I see the modern art where supposedly strange and unrelated

Hi! Not quite sure what the experiment is. I'm generally not as interested in animal shots in a zoo, where the animal is obviously 'in the zoo.' Brutally, doesn't really do much for me. Absolutely. Thanks, Bruce. Every opinion counts! Boris

I agree that the appiarent disruption and the woman's response make for a very interesting photo. I'm not sure that I'd want to violate someone's space to that degree. But perhaps it's all worth it for the sake of art? A difficult question to my mind. That the woman was kissing with her eyes

Hi, based on what's here, a little off the top might be helpful. Otherwise it's a good photo - there's a strong sense of the foremost boy's discomfort or ennui, and a good representation of the small group as well. There are any number of nits one could pick, but it's not a bad shot at all.
