Very true Mac. Most people get lulled into a false sense of security.
they think 4x4's go anywhere and fail to adjust thier driving habits.

Then there's BC drivers....
I remember when I was 18, getting caught in a snowfall on my way back to Langley from skiing in whistler. There were cars in the ditch everywhere, at intersections police were pulling brooms out of their trunks to brush the broken head/taillights off the road. I had so many near misses as people stared at me in disbelief, like they'd never seen a Kawasaki before.

"I'm from Ontario!!!" I shout out when they rolled thier windows down at the stops...

if that polar bear has ANY survival instincts AT ALL, he'll keep his dirty mitts off my Wisers!

Dead or alive, I'm sure that coat'll be warm.

Pete, I'd worry more about that big arrow.
It really sticks out.
I might not have even noticed the dust spot, if it weren't for that big arrow.
What could cause such a thing?
Marks on the sensor? Confused sky writers?

I'm with JR, only after learning to work with available light, should one consider, other means.
The best artificial lighting, is intended, after all, to imitate natural light.
It stands to reason, that you won't likely achieve a perfect imitation, of anything, if you don't have a good grasp of what the real thing is.

Natural light is always a first choice for me..the flash units don't come out unless I'm stumped on what to do with what's already there.

A mixture of lighter fluid and rubber cement burns nicely.
you want something that doesn't burn too hot.
the hotter the flame gets the more it changes from red/oranges and yellows to blues and whites. alcohol tends to burn more towards the blues.
As for exposure, try subdued light with longer exposures. take a spotmeter reading just off side of the flames and bracket from there.

Did you ever hear the one about the old man that recieved a hooker for his birthday?

She knocks at the door and when he answers, she anounces that she's there to give him "Super sex!!!"

"what?" he says...

"Super sex!!!"

"Oh, I'll just have the soup...."
