They have made a huge difference in my poor efforts. I see these emails on how to be a great photographer (for a small price) and I think, just go look at the greats for a start.<<<<<<<<<< Thank you good Sir. Looking at the photos of those who succeeded before us, we learn by studying their light use & light levels, compositions. Then trying their mannerisms over and over until "OUR PHOTOS?" take on a somewhat similar look of impact. Then we study it more so. Gradually our "LIGHT USE?" develops the magic look of what attracted us in the beginning. All the best and thanks for your kind comments. cheers, Dr. ted grant O.C. tedgrant at shaw.ca =================================== On 1/7/2019 12:53 AM, Ted Grant via LUG wrote: > HI CREW, > > Here is the photojournalists motto!! > > "REAL PHOTOGRAPHERS SHOOT B&W.
