One can shoot a thousand rolls of film and not come up with a good picture. And some can shoot a half a roll and come up with three or four. Ansel Adams (sorry guys) once said a photographer who comes up with a dozen good negatives in a year had a good year. Of course, we're talking about photography at the highest level. I've seen portfolios of photographers who have no clue how bad they are. They apply for jobs way out of their skill level, and they aren't even good enough to know where they stand on the skill scale. :-)=20 I think if I get a great picture a week, I'm doing well.=20 I got one this week on the way home from a football game. Glad I looked off the road! Check my opening web page. A very saturated rainbow! I can go a couple weeks without getting one single picture that satisfies me. No matter how many rolls of film I shoot. But fortunately, that's getting rarer as I mature. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch How do I set my laser printer on stun?
