can you expect?

Bob, you have your way with words, surely so. I, for one, don't do
photography for profit. Although as of recently I have to shoot lots of
events of my daughter's class. Which is somewhat akin to wedding
photography as I have to produce coverage (at least two-three shots of
each kid, given 30+ of them) and of course quality. I decided (since I
get to do what I want) that I just shoot, apply minimal processing (say,
2-3 mins of LR for each chosen shot) and produce a disk with web size
and full res images. So far parents appear to quite like the outcome.
But then again I do it for fun and for free and as a bonus I get to
watch after my daughter during all these events...
I reckon this is a truly small token in this discussion, but still.

P.S. As yet another side effect I got myself a rather nice Metz 40MZ-2
flash with SCA 372 and SCA 3701 modules from a fellow list member that
work wonders on my K10D. Pity it was after all these shoots but probably
coming Passover holidays will allow me to field-test-apply my new flash!
