Re: Decisive moment available to everyone now!

If the photog doesn’t exercise some judgment, just guns away, all that has happened is that the burden of finding the decisive moment has moved from the field to the editor’s desk. The technology may be a game changer, but getting “the” shot may still be a rarity. stan > On Apr 20, 2017, at

To me it sounds like a waste of money. You could/should do a proof copy after you have it all together, and there will be time then to fix any image issues. If anything, if you are really worried about image print quality, do a total throw-away (on the same paper you plan to use later), maybe

I don't think that's entirely true. This is a leveler. There's a saying supposedly from the Old West, God created Men, Sam Colt made them equal. In a fight with clubs the bigger heavier opponent has an advantage in a fight with guns, a lot of that advantage goes away. Let me tell a story,
