If I were more careful about what I said, my writing would be much less interesting to read. Bruce is claiming that clarity is not necessary, and I'm saying that it is a critical element in most photos. The whole photo doesn't need to be perfectly sharp, or clear, but the vast majority of photos need some aspect of clarity. By the same token, you could take great photos without using the red channel of your sensor, write without using the letter 'R', compose music without the note 'G', or respond to a PDML post without making any puns. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
