If you're a scientist engaged in optical experiments comparing the composition of various silica glass lens components, I could see making careful notes between each shot. If you're doing catalog work, and consistency is important from page to page, even if you are working in various locations, I could see making careful notes between each shot. If you're shooting stills from an undersea vehicle of say the Titanic, and you do some tests, I could see making careful notes between each shot. Hopefully, we approach a picture from the other side. We take our experience, look at what the camera is telling us, and decide if it is telling us the truth. Sometimes cameras and light meters lie. They really do. Guys like Ted know when the camera is fibbing. They don't need notes, or notebooks, or ledgers. They have it in their heads; maybe in their fingers. If you find yourself fiddling around with a camera, looking at a notebook, then you need to be carrying a photographer's bag instead of pretending to be one. -- Regards, Sonny http://sonc.com/look/ Natchitoches, Louisiana USA
