  Hi Jan

  Yes, well, the color was widely discussed and on three of my monitors it’s very orange. Which reminded me of a time i was persuaded to shoot a black jazz singer performing in a club in JPG mode. I never shoot jpg but this guy was persuasive so i did it. It was for a job for the Canadian Embassy. WHAT a mistake! I could not recover natural color and even bought special software to help me, to no avail. So converted to B&W. Hence my thought that Vasillos was making lemonade out of a lemon (color wise). I am not sure about your comparison of digital info to film. i shoot both and with digital find my problem is with highlights and with film it’s the other way around; i lose detail in the shadows. But i am admittedly a relative newcomer to this sport. Anyway, just curious about your answer and it’s as i thought. In jpg, no way..raw maybe/probably/hopefully.

  thanks, Jan! Good comment, by the way..very thoughtful, as usual :)

  Michael Reichman explains the shooting to the right best.

  Awesome picture vass….that dude who commented on the noise (in my opinion) wrong. I like the fuzzyness of the noise..it gives the photo a painterly feel to it. remember people….anyone can use photoshop…anyone can take a clear picture…but that doesn’t make it art!

  1. There is something to be said about having the creative skill to design a setting that could only otherwise exist by chance.

  2. Beyond point number one is the ability of the same individual to expertly capture the art of the moment through photography.

  Cheers!
