Quoting Gonz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > LOL, does the rg vs rg2 give it away? Well, it wasn't just the fact that the last name's the same and you're from the same area. After all, you've got a very popular surname for Texas. It was: Last name's the same, live in the same area, and BOTH USE PENTAX! Seemed like too much of a coincidence ... ERNR

Long, medium, and close-up. Typical for editors. You will learn to shoot all three. 90% o'the time they (editors) will use the close up, and you will feel the LS was the best of them because it shows context and can stand alone. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" --- Gonz wrote: Bob Sullivan wrote: > So you gonna show us or what???

Re: Sorta got published
Oh don't get me wrong, I had several close ups, but just not the ones they wanted. This one got picked because he was engaged in conversation. The lighting was terrible, so I had to use the ceiling to bounce the flash, making it difficult to move in and out of the right range without getting in the way. Next time though, I'll spend most of my time on closeups like you say. rg Graywolf wrote: Long, medium, and close-up. Typical for editors.

I am slowly acquiring his equipment. Just don't tell him that all his lenses are missing. :o) Sure is about time someone figured it out. rg2
