Lots and lots of great work throughout his site. I'd love to see some examples a little larger on-line then the small pics. Great to see all of the swimmers with the games approaching too. The Aussies will be meeting them in Beijing.

As we speak he's finishing a swimming assignment in Vancouver and given his first mail from the location that everybody ( the photographers) were whining and bitching about how bad the light was. Actually bitching is the God given right of photographers, goes with the camera. :-) However, Scott being Scott and light, he looked at it reset his camera metering and shoots in the same fashion as his old man. :-) Actually far better! :-) Basically if you can see the subject you can shoot it! So given his results of the past few days I thought you might like to see what a photographer who understands light and just makes it work without bitching can do. Please look at his web page: http://www.sixsixsix.ca/ Click on the main blue photo that comes up, then click on: MEL ZAJAC SWIM MEET. It opens to the competition and his photography under crappy lousy bitch about it whining light! :-) See what you can do when you're a photographer without worry, see it, shoot it! :-) Make it work! ted _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
