Something like that here too. They've got this cool new one that combines a printer and a scanner in one. The scanner head comes off for books or whatever too. > Oh, Russ and I have been jabbing at each other since Day 1.

Oh, I'm sure it's a very honorable profession. Ranks with prostitutes. Did I mention I've been waiting a month to have the leak fixed in Mackenzie's room? > I'm sure Fraggle Rock is a very fine show.

I felt much that way once but now when I wake up after dreaming some situation had forced me back into news work, I give a huge sigh of relief!! Just another nightmare! For me, this is one of the situations that really fits the old saw: "I wouldn't take a million for the experience, and I wouldn't do it again for two million.

But the only experience I've had with [it was] KW> the New York Institute had us shoot the same thing with different KW> colored jells. I'd forgotten. You might wish to memorize the color relationships, then, if you have not already done so. Then if a need arises you would know what filter color to use in order to get a desired separation if you were confronted with adjoining, similar intensity, colors in making a B&W copy. While it is basic to color, the practical value in B&W applications is equally appropriate. I made up my own, years ago, when my burning avocation was a love of sports cars. It went this way: General Motors Builds Yucky Race Cars. The essensce is the first letters standing for primary colors and paired with their counterparts, as Green/Magenta, Blue/Yellow and Red/Cyan. Think of them as opposites. If you want red to be a lighter shade of grey, use a light red filter and everything red in the scene will be more dense on the pan negative, thus lighter in a print.. If red needs to be darker then a cyan filter would do the job because it makes red areas weaker in the negative, etc. Everyone recognizes the primaries, RGB, but some may not be very comfortable with the secondaries. In case you forgot, each one is comprised of approximately equal quantities of two primary colors; Magenta is half red, half blue, Yellow is red and green (though it never seemed possible in my head!), and; cyan is a mixture of blue and green. Photographic color processes are all based upon that premise, in one way or another. ... Washington, D.C., America's work-free drug capitol! * Q-Blue 2.3 * --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: A.L.T.

KW> .. what would be the point in that??? BD> Depends. If a model doesn't want her likeness shown.. etc. KW> Ah, but those are all professional reasons. And I'm just KW> somebody messing around Ah, not necessarily so, Ma'am! Meaning those reasons may be as valid for pros, but not limited to that at all. As a matter of fact, it is more often the amateur model who is excited to see the results and just can't wait out the normal routines! Also, it's been a frequent experience that when friends share a field trip or other shooting session there is simply an urge to run the film and compare results. Believe it or not, such jobs can be loads of fun--not chores! ... If you aim for perfection, you find it's a moving target. * Q-Blue 2.3 * --- WILDMAIL!/WC v4.12 * Origin: A.L.T.

It won't do you any good now that you don't have the camera. Nah. Old film is hard to come by too. That stuff is so brittle it's hard to get it in the holder without chipping. ------------------------------------------------------- FidoNet PHOTO Conference<->InterNet EMail List To subscribe to the list, send an EMail message to: listserv@wnybbs.net With the words: SUBSCRIBE PHOTO To Unsubscribe: UNSUBSCRIBE PHOTO To post a message to the list, send E-Mail to: photo@wnybbs.net
