Once one begins shooting such as you have here, it can become mesmerizing and you see each almost as a living moment better than the one before. So shoot again! :-) Many years ago I was on assignment shooting tourist scenes around Lake Superior, the largest of the Great Lakes of Canada.One day a wind storm came up and the waves were magnificent! I thought, "Oh beauty, gotta have some of those!" :-) Well I did........... "25 rolls of 36 exposure Kodachrome later I figured I should stop!!!" :-) It was like being affected by a drug as each wave crashed ashore. I swore it was better than the last! So it was "CLICK, CLICK - CLICK" adinfinitum! The light changed, unfortunately and took the magic of highlights away so much, it lost the visual impact. :-( I was glad it wasn't me who did the editing on that shoot. :-) The wonderful days of clients who wanted perfection and cost was meaningless! :-) Yours are beautitiful. Merci! cheers, ted
