(And thanks, Bill, for generously helping me with that solution). Even a bigger problem than money is time. Yesterday, I shot about 200 shots, probably end up with 20 keepers or less. If I used film, I would have to process the film, make contact sheets or proofs, or scan which could be even more time consuming. Digital gives you more than time. While I still prefer the look from film in some cases, digital capture is appealing to me in that it shortens the feedback cyle in the learning process tremendously. You can shoot and proof a large number of images in a very short time. I believe I learn much faster with digital than with film. And that is the greatest benefit of digital. My wish is that I have 1 hr neighborhood photolab that could process film and produce high quality scan. Another possibility is to use slides and set up my own automated film processing for that. Either of those 2 solutions will solve the time equation for me. Peter, As someone mentioned, you may be too critical; you captured the expressions and the moment succesfully. The photos are very good and I believe, convey the intended message, unless the intended message is digital sucks :-) - - Phong Bill Harting wrote: > > I like the pictures, the spontaneity of taking them and the apparent > willingness to fire away, which I think is one of the great virtues of > digital: shoot away and discard the chaff.
