When we were in Vegas April. there was a group of young ladies with the Margaritaville parrots taking posed pictures of the tourist and the birds. I'll admit we wanted to do it, and did.
After each shoot, she just handed the card to the assistant and viewd them via MS's picture it or what ever its called software. Prints were handled via the MS software aswell, no adjusyments. Three 5x7's in those gold leaf frames was $20.00 US. I thought that was a great deal. Not sure how much money was made, but they were out there at least from 9am to 6pm for three days. Thats a lot of standing, dealing with customers and the heat and warm beer. Glad i don't do on site any more, i hate warm beer, LOL Dave On 11/1/07, Jack Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Guess I wasn't thinking about the D50, but if a camera properly suited > for such a connection were to be used in the proximity of a laptop? > Those shots made on the train probably didn't leave much PS time prior > to its return.
