Thanks, Scott. I saved that advice. Will try all of that as I figure it
out.
And Stuart, I probably feel closer to what you describe (art over science)
than to the more ana... uh, scientific approach. But I do see the argument
for recording details of every or nearly every shot. I frequently come home
with 3 or 4 (or more) slides or prints of the very same scene/subject, all
taken at the same time, with various settings of aperture, shutter speed,
etc., and with no record, I have no idea which one is which. I think there
is a lot to be learned from recording a LOT of info. as one takes pics.
I'm getting better at metering all over the scene with the OM-2S, having been
bitten a few times by metering only on the primary subject. Sometimes I'll
just throw it over into "auto" and take another "insurance" shot (been bitten
by the auto mode, too). So still, I'd like to know which shot was the
manual, which was the auto, and who was best. :-)
I'll try to record more info., but will keep your good advice in mind. This
is a hobby, not a production job. Thanks.
Finally, I have to add a hear, hear! Stuart, to your appreciation to all the
contributors to the list. I was just having those grateful thoughts earlier
in the evening. The number of folks on this list who have provided service,
mailed me stuff, sold me good stuff, given me good advice, emailed me, etc.,
continues to grow. Not to mention the generosity of those who have put
together great websites to share with anyone who wishes to learn of the great
OM system. Good buncha guys here! Thank all of you.
