This seemed quite funny to me. Last year I attended a portrait workshop in a photo school here in Roma and the guy teaching it was a pro in the advertising field. He also shot a portraits, of course, and he told us he often used to shoot a few faked rolls off his MedF camera at the beginning of a session, especially with green models or plain people not accustomed to posing. The signal to his assistance was to load "french film", he said, since there is none, he just handed the "used" mags to the assistants taking another one and had them staging the loading and unloading for the subject's sake. When the subject finally relaxed he swithced back to the real stuff... Ciao, Flavio - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
