Re: OT: Photography for Kids?

Thanks, Frank! I'll definitely teach some exposure basics -- I was just thinking that with younger kids, and likely all p&s cams, there wouldn't be much point in getting too far into manual controls... if I got a high school-age group together, I'd go into greater depth. The holga idea is cool...

It's more the different size that I find bit distracting. Certainly not a serious problem, but i think the near centerpinpoint catch lights you have are perfect. That's why i'd clone out the larger ones. On Jan 14, 2012, at 10:51 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: > Paul, is it the two catch lights being o

From: Charles Robinson I guess I just never buy new vehicles. I got my model 1989 motorcycle in 1993 for just about $3K and I'm still riding it. I got my last Subaru for about $3K about 6 years ago... it's got over 260,000 miles on it and still going strong. I couldn't stomach paying over $10

Re: PESO Marzi

Paul, is it the two catch lights being of equal(ish) intensity that bothers you? I'm thinking to reduce the brightness of the larger (umbrella) of the two. Ie rather than cloning them right out. I rather like multiple catch lights like this--adds lots of sparkle and life to the eyes. Thanks for yo
