Cotty, what are you talking about? There's no high-speed option on a Rollei.
What is the difference if he's standing behind it or 20 feet away when he pops the shutter? Enlighten us -- what is the precise length of cable release that turns art into commerce? You act like they're using a motion sensor or something (and that's anoter argument -- does trap focus negate artistic aspirations?). The ability to visualize from multiple cameras is a real talent, and the work they produce is stellar. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: Cotty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: Re: March Madness Date: Fri Mar 24, 2006 6:32 pm Size: 1016 bytes To: "pentax list" <[email protected]> On 24/3/06, Aaron Reynolds, discombobulated, unleashed: >I don't think you can say that without seeing the photographs, Cotty.

Sorry guys, I've been around making pictures for long enough. There's no damn heart in that - it's pure money making, and so good luck to 'em, I hope they make enough money at it. You might as well get some motion picture cameras in there instead and analyse the footage frame by frame. Bound to be loads of good hits. I must be gettin old.
