Recently I noticed I couldn't see someone's image they had posted. I commented on it in that thread. It turns out others could see it just fine. And I saw it just fine briefly. Then a few minutes later it was gone. There is nothing there that even shows an image should be there.
here's the thread...01-23-2008, 10:37 AM -

Here is an analogy for you baseball fans: you can be a great hitting instructor and not be able to hit a 40mph slow pitch.
When you are trying to capture the moment, you need to recognize the moment.
I'm working on it ... but I'm still not there ... if that makes any sense.
Dez Santana's work looked lovely, but I only saw small sized examples so it was hard for me to judge. I thought you were referring to something about the "pano" technique when you were talking about having much to learn, rather than the other photographic elements.
