well just sharing really. i can certainly take all the harsh comments you two care to dish out (i've certainly been critical of others more than my share of times

)
these aren't really final cuts either. have some photoshopping to do but that is such miserably difficult software. recently downloaded a trial of Adobe Lightroom and really like it. very intuitive and the adjustments are niiiiice. saved quite a few shots that were too dark.
and, like i said, i learned an AWFUL lot doing this. you gotta start somewhere and this was it for me. i will start seeking work as a 2nd shooter (one of my favorite seinfeld episodes!) for a real pro if i can.
it was FUN and a lot of work.
