I notice that you will be in Albany ny in may. It is only a 3 hour drive from Montreal. I may drop a few $000 s and get of work and drive south. I am sure you don`t need assistance as your beautiful assistant at Hoboken was quite capable but it might be nice for me to touch base late afternoon and perhaps goin youir group for supper ... show you some of my work but most importantly ask you the many procedure questions i am gathering. Ps the framed photo on the book cover is not squared .. so it IS your style as i see many off angle shots. i am starting to shoot photos of a beautiful med dark black beauty I will e mail you some shots but i assume you use only experienced models for the work shop. i shall call you next week. best wishes for the new year Ron lemish Lph. 3533 gongrats on your new book.

One setting that I recentley switched to however has made me wish I had used it from the beginning. I find that I keep the camera in af-c mode at all times, hit the af-on buton to focus and shutter release to meter and take the shot. By using this method, I can choose to tap the of-on once and shoot shot after shot of a static subject and not worry about refocusing, or hold the af-on button for continual focuse. This method really combines the af-s and af-c button into one function and then the ae-l/af-l button is used for exposure lock. I could never go back to using the shutter button for autofocus after using this method. Hello Neil
