Ask a any former Donal, You forget my story by Guido Mattoni (editor of Epoca) who hired HC-B to shoot a color essay on Portugal? HC-B took two rolls of Ektachrome and shot 70 out of 72 exposures that were "good enough for the magazine," according to Guido. Now you may think the "Life Magazine of Italy" might not have too high a set of standards, but that's not the impression I got from Guido. Not that your point is not well taken (sorry for the double negative). I know when I switch back to chrome for negative (for fun mostly these days) that I have to slow down and work my exposures. Bracketing is something I do when I don't have time to be careful. But bracketing is not possible when looking or "decisive moments." Photoshop covers a multitude of (photographic) sins. :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Suicidal twin kills sister by mistake!
