Actually, I thought as much, but I had the momentum to proceed with the obvious. ;-) I read a comment once that I think of often. "If you take just one shot, that's the best you're going to get." It's not at all unusual for me to drop a tripod at the spot where I first come upon a scene I want to shoot. After a number of varying compositions, I think I'm finished and start walking again only to discover a better vantage point and other desirable elements revealing themselves just a few steps steps closer. I took those first shots too soon and can't help but do it all again. Keeps it fun. Jack

That was the intention of what I said. Obviously, simply taking a lot of shots is not sufficient. [If it were possible to *just* take a lot of shots.] But with a desire to learn the chances of learning increase the more shots you take. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] “On the basis of evidence we may be sure that we are wrong but we can never be sure that we are right.” - Richard Feynman -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
