Thanks John, I appreciate that. I do have access to both a 4x5 camera and a drum scanner. My Haunted Forest image was scanned from a 35mm negative on it. Unfortunately the one time I borrowed the 4x5 all my photos were out of focus.
I've worked for a friend who is a photographer, he has taught me quite a bit about improving my results from Photoshop and in composing my images to begin with. We go shooting together often. His web site is Plateau Light Gallery. He's the one with all the great equipment. I'll see if I can find a copy of Payne's book in our library. -- Brian On Nov 30, 2008, at 10:06 AM, John D wrote: > > Brian -- > I don't think I told you and really this is no big deal, but a > couple months ago I added your website to the LINKS page on my > website.
