On the contrary - the excitement levels are not only maintained, but enhanced by the knowledge that results are going to be seen very quickly, and mistakes are rectified immediately. You have to experience it to feel the buzz :-) John writes: >One advantage of a DSLR is the instant review.

My son was giving a presentation at cub scouts about his rat, er hamster. (yes, called Basil...) He wanted some shots of the furry little thing and I obliged. I love bounced light, loathe direct, so I positioned the head towards the ceiling and used manual (250th at about f/5.6, 400 ISO). We had nobody to hold a small reflector to bounce off, and coming of the ceiling was proving not enough, judging by the histogram (a graphical representation of the light levels in the captured image). In this case, I went direct (poor Basil!) and stopped down a bit (lots of DOF required as he flitted to and fro). Test shots revealed this was going to be fine. Focussing was manual - rats, er hamsters move very quickly. Out of 50 shots, about half were reasonably sharp. Of those, a dozen were pin sharp on the eyes, we chose 6 to optimise, and 3 to print. Shooting to printing - - one hour, thankyouverymuchgoodnight. Cotty _____________________________ Oh swipe me!
