For me, two eyes open when in the hot areas isn't about getting the shot, it's about staying safe. I feel safe out there when I'm working corners, in part because I've got at least one other person on the station watching my back, and I've got eyes and ears open for danger. When I'm shooting in the hot zone, I'm usually pretty much alone, and my vision is restricted by the viewfinder. I'm nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rockers when the camera is up to my face. No place on the hot side is inherently safe ... it's amazing where cars can end up when they're out of control at high speed. :-) -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
