It grates when I use the term. I'm watching "The Golden Bowl" a Henry James Merchant Ivory I'd missed. They all rush off excitedly at a great costume ball to a room to get photographed. A photographer which a wooden camera on wooden tripod and an assistant off to the side holding up a pan of flash powder. Uma strikes a pose; her arms out straight almost. The photographer says. "Madam!... IF YOU ARE COMPOSED THAN I SHALL EXPOSE!" He dos so. The flash pan goes off. Then Jeremy Northrum is all set to go. "SIR IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE THEN I SHALL EXPOSE" He takes the lens cap off and his assistant makes his flash pan go off" How delightful! If you think of it it's the assistant whose really taking the picture! Me I'd rather EXPOSE a picture than "capture" it anyday. If I was making captures I'd expect to have a butterfly net. Poised and ready to go. No flash powder necessary. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
