235998 2004-05-14 02:37:00 Ta Paul. Good informative articles. In my situation (and apologies for hijacking your thread Joan), I often have very little choice with regard to: lighting conditions, shooting position, camera angle/elevation, distance to subject, one or two handed grip. Sometimes it is impossible to be able to see what is being shot via the eye piece or even review the shot until I have extracted myself from the shooting position.

I'm not a pro (far from it), have used a digital for about 8 month's so the learning is still in progress but, the results are work related. They are intended to impart detailed information, aesthetics have no part to play in there making and use in any way.

I take about 30% (of, on average 100) of my shots in RAW mode so that I can piddle around with it later or because I feel the need for a, so called, digital negative for a particular shot just in case the validity of the JPEG that goes into the final document is questioned some time in the future.

I'll experiment with the hyperfocal method for poor light conditions, may have to force the flash to get it to pop, thats where the post processing comes in.
