When he explained why most can understand a lot of film going through the camera. Basically, after hiking most of a day to stake out a spot where the light will be good for a few minutes at best you don't want to come back the next day. So, camera on a tripod, 70-200 zoom mounted with split neutral density set for the horizon break, camera set for three frame bracket at 1/3 stop. Camera is set for highest framing rate which for him would be 8 frames a second. When the light is just about right start shooting 12 "sets" per roll. Using the zoom and horizontal and vertical compositions that is only 120 compositions which may not be all that many in a truly scenic place. Why the narrow bracket? You can sell rights to a unique image and still have a very, very similar one for other uses. Don dorysrus@mindpspring.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
