yep you're right.......that dyslexia thing......I read "messing about with the manual"!!!!
my mind sometimes fills in the blanks on the fly, when I'm reading things, and having letter reversals....when one part of my brain causes a word or two come up scrambled, another part of my brain adds words that make sense, to complete the sentence.

Pete, promise me you'll never pull that manual out in front of a client again.
memorize it, type a note or two, and tape said note to back of a grey card.
Don't make a client, or anybody else watching (possible future clients) worry about whether or not you're getting the job done!
focus on the eye (closest to the lens) then recompose, bearing in mind that you'll generally get sharpnes 1/3(of your available dof) in front of your point of focus, and 2/3 behind. How much dof depends on your aperture, use the smallest aperture possible when you need more, widest aperture possible when you need less.
There's an old saying: "F8 and be there" can't go too far wrong with that.

well 'spider I don't know if two's enough, but I definately think people who only have one don't really count as parents. When something gets broken in thier house...they KNOW who did it! Where's the skill in solving that? It's like having a really expensive pet....

as for inheritance...I've suggested that they think more about the word "motivation" cause I plan onspending it all before I go...
To start them off on saving money I ofer them this great money sving tip:
Don't claim the body....let the State pick up my funeral tab...I want some of my taxes back.

zeta, you won't find a livelier, more knowlegable or colorful cast of charictors anywhere else....but more importantly, knowlegable and generous. please do some searches and reading on this forum.
I've seen hundreds of people PAYING large fees to attend seminars, to learn the kinds of tips you'll get here for free.
Before long you'll be trading quips and tips with the rest of us!

combination of wider apertures and faster iso= smaller discharges, faster recycle times, longer battery life and better balance of ambient and flash exposures.

I know alot of people use'm but for me the ideal is simply a hip bag, and the short dedicated off camera flash cord kit. Holding the flash in one hand (with my index finger laying on the top of the flash (it's a natural ability for people to be able to point at something with thier index finger, without having to look at thier finger) aim the flash and shoot with the camera in the other hand...(often using the off camera flash with the on camera flash in contrast control mode.)

cool idea.
I was thinking about drilling ahole in my off camera flash adapter...Gerri loves (for reasons I can't fathom) using flash brackets, and we've had one flash unit fall off when the flash wasn't properly locked....
