I agree. When I reach a location to film in, one of the first things i do is snap an iPhone pic and email it in to the web desk. They always want a still to publish to the web asap. Very very rarely will they take a still from the video. Only if nothing else is available. But that's more through ineptness on their part rather than anything else! -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ---------- http://www.cottysnaps.com _____________________________ -- 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.
