Sure - happy to help. I would say two things: 1. if you are keen on including any vessel of note - maybe from a historical perspective - then they can usually be identifed. Eg a timber boat a hundred years old as opposed to just a fibreglass yacht from the 70s... 2. Beyond this, surely the subject takes a back seat to the aesthetic quality of the image? If you like then show it :-) What would be better to show - a poorly framed pic of Chichester's Gypsy Moth IV or a beautiful image of a plastic day sailer framed by a pod of mermaids.... -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ UK Shoot / Edit and || (O) | Live Broadcast News ---------- <www.seeingeye.tv> _____________________________ -- 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.
