I have found that saws and pruning shears are a (forgive me this pun) double-edged sword. Too often I find some inconsiderate person has chopped a bush or tree that would have made a great prop, especially in the fall. So to all you pruners and woodcutters...think about the shot you might destroy forever in order to get the shot of the moment. ...John Reay, Bowmanville, ON [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/John_Reay/cdnmlw.htm Assistant sysop, CompuServe TrainNet forum -> SPORRS: Serious Photographers of Railroad Related Subjects -> Web Site: http://www.anet-stl.com/acphotog/sporrs -> Message © SPORRS® 1998 - All Rights Reserved
