Yup - after showing and giving some free dog photos to an owner the other day at the dog run, he was admiring them and amazed at the clarity and colour. Then, it struck him, and he said something like 'ya you have a digital camera, right'. So I guess that explained the incredible quality, but nothing said about my abilities. Oh well, I really do think he now believes I can take good photos of dogs, I'm just not sure if he really knows why I can take good photos. I could of course have taken the exact same photos on film, and in the old days I used to do just that. Other than the incredible tonal range and excellent colours which are sometimes elusive to get from the lab with film, there is really no difference in the shooting. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Standard Poodles for fun BMW motorcycle for pleasure
