Bill, despite your cynicism the "grab" shots are often also the "money" shots...
>From a business stand-point and mainly in reference to weddings and children's photography, spontaneity and candidature are essential. The shot I posted the other day that I "saved" after it being grossly underexposed - well, I just sold that to the bride's mother as an 11 x 14 print, framed and matted and a grand total of $475.00. >From a personal stand point, and as a mother, these shots are simply irreplaceable. Ok, so it may seem trivial and insignificant to you, not exactly earth-shattering or mind-blowing stuff, but neither is much of the stuff that we chat about on the PDML. I honestly don't understand why you reacted in such a way to that comment - after all, not everyone on this list is a landscape or nature photographer and "grab" shots, to some people could be putting dinner on the table tonight... tan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill D.
