Although many perspectives rarely work, as in deciding good, bad or ugly by committee? As long as argumments don't start. Then it becomes a total waste of time. And many of us don't have much time to waste???? My comments are purely from "shooting experience! Lots & lots of it over and over again" Not learned from reading a book. Now I am the first to admit my lack of reading camera manuals, certainly digital and digital "darkroom effects & how to's" have hindered a few things since digital came into being. However I still plod on shooting when I can using the KISS system. If it works when I press " auto levels or auto colur and the frame on screen looks "cool" I leave it be. I don't start fiddling trying to make it look better. Like I said, use the "KISS IT" button!! :-) Beauty! :-) cheers, Dr. ted :-) > > > On Mon, Aug 12, 2013 at 7:46 PM, Douglas Barry <imra at iol.ie> wrote: > >> Ted, you certainly have a busy schedule for a man who blithly gave us the >> choice of TWO assignments for this week, and who HASN'T limited the >> number >> of photos that anybody can submit on the topics.
