Thanks for the feedback and the suggestions, Bob. I do appreciate it. I forgot to mention that the files saved on the disc would be TIFFs, of course. Now to come up with the time to complete some scenes on the layout to try out these techniques! Peace, Roger

I think you'll be fine with those concepts. Two thoughts that you might consider 1) don't be afraid of zooming in and away from wide angle when it suits you--and many times that's a gut feeling. Including too much in a shot can ruin it. &2) Along with that don't be afraid of letting the background get soft if it's not important. A background of a forest might just look fine way out of focus as long as the subject matter (the hero) is sharp. You'll find that stretching your technical know-how will now start blending with the creative part of your mind--hopefully a good thing!

My intention is not to submit to the majors (MRR and RMC). I’ll leave that to those who are much more skilled than I. But I would like to see S represented in some of the local and smaller mags. I join “String Bob” in thanking all who have contributed to this discussion. Hopefully others have found it useful too. If I am off base on any of the above, please correct me! Thanks, Roger Nulton .
