Back in the late '60s the Army chose to train me as a cinematographer (read combat cameraman). The first lesson, repeated often throughout our training was, FILM IS CHEAP. Bottom line, the biggest difference between amateurs and pros in photography, is the amount of film they are willing to shoot to get the right picture. I think that's one reason experienced photographers are adopting digital so readily. With the digital camera, you can take two hundred pictures of the same subject, throw away 199 and still not feel you're wasting anything. -- Steve McIlree -- Pferd & Skipper -- Omaha, Nebraska, USA Have you driven a Fjord, lately?
