Thanks for posting that Simon. I normally operate on the principle of multiple redundancy and hope something comes out OK. It would be nice to know what I'm supposed to do!

Brooks Stover, the author, is a really nice and down to earth guy, who believes in making the most of things that are readily available: his book on modelling the Buffalo Creek and Gauley is a master class in getting on with things, and he had also co-written books on the real thing, to share his knowledge.

In the days of film, professional photographers used to soot off rolls and rolls of film, reckoning to be lucky if they got a usable shot out of a single reel. Digital photography makes that a cheap possibility for us all, but to be honest, nothing is as good as proper technique based on lighting and composition. If you want proof of this, look at Chris Nevard's work above all others in the hobby, for he is the greatest exponent of it in this country.

About 20 years ago our ad agency freelance photographer was paid up to £1000 per usable shot, the post processors were paid a little below average wage.

Today an ad agency freelance photographer would do pretty well getting £100 per shot, but the retouching would be charged at £150 per hour.

There's a story in there somewhere.
