Assuming they use 36 exposure rolls, that means they shoot close 19,800 frames per story. Based on using about 10 frames per story for publication, this is a success rate of roughly 0.05%. I think even I could make that, as could most of us on this board. So are the NatGeo guys that good or do we just see the very best? Just a passing thought! Yes and yes. And alot of the skills NGS photographers have are setting up the logistics so that a picture can be taken. ============================================================================ Ken Firestone, W3CAT | For every problem there is one solution kenf@speakeasy.net | which is simple, neat, and wrong. ken@firestone.net | -- H.
