Thankyou:-)
You are right thte desplay is marvellous and the perfume amazing
what
really gets me down when I try to photograph the things I see
before
me the camera obviously doesn't see the same as I do. I suppose I
should have something other than a digital camera with a different
lens? *********************************

I doubt if it's the camera or the lens: great photographers can use
depressingly simple equipment. The camera really _does_ see things
differently, because it hasn't got a brain processing the
information. Practice is the only way. When working with children on
seeing nature, I used to get them to look through little frames and
tubes to get different views -- amazing how a cardboard frame can
make a view into a picture, or a loo-roll tube can turn your eye into
a telescope or a microscope! I'd guess photography trainers use the
same sorts of tricks -- and I know they use plain white sheets of
stuff as reflectors to bring light into places we don't even realise
are shaded because the brain fills in the missing detail, but which
look murky when our pictures come back.
