That's the price of passion. Sometimes what one person perceives as 'friendly ribbing' can be deeply insulting to another person. > OK, you are right.

I wasn't entirely joking about that. I meant what I said in this context: I don't take on doing the impossible without being compensated for the pain. If a game is not winnable through the rules, and I have to play, I work at changing the rules to permit a win. Trying to take photos of people in motion in far too little light to do it sensibly is a situation where I'd change the rules of play to allow good photos to be made. I've done this at editorial shoots and other "impossible" lighting situations successfully in the past. I do it today at my work when I run into a brick wall with department 'rules of play'. Basically, I do my darnedest to not take on work that cannot be successfully completed other than as experimentations. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
