Hi Tom,
I will take a gamble on this ( tell me how wrong I am Bill ), I suspect Bill is
referring to considered composition not simply grab shots (like Bill's
sucessful PUG entry to which you refer)? For many PJs the only image that
matters is one that has the main subject smack in the middle of the frame
and covering most of it (=happy editor). This maybe one of the differences in
perspective that seems to cause irritation between the
PJ/portrait/street/macro/scenery shooters?
All have differing agendas. In my style of shooting zoom capability would
rarely be advantageous whereas a for PJ whose job depends on frame filling
in-your-face shots a zoom capability might be mandatory (as may IS)?
Cheers,
Rob Studdert
