In my first years as a news photographer, we used a 16mm eyemo (70dr) with a turrent of lenses, quite a step up. Then I moved to a bigger TV station, and they gave me an Auricon with a $1000 Angeneiux zoom lens, and a tripod with a $500 O'conner fluid head. Then the chief told my, "Don't zoom, and only pan with action." Taught me a lot about DOF. Really like the picture you posted. It looked almost like a painting itself. -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana (+31.754164,-093.099080) USA
