Larry, you're making a heap of sense here. If I screwed around trying to find the perfect exposure for all of my shots I wouldn't have half the ones that I really like. I like the idea of getting things techically perfect, it's the engineer in me I'm sure but artistically the technical aspects of the shot are generally of far less consequence than the content/subject matter. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- 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.
