it makes a BIG difference

[sam]

I'd recently posted some pictures in the photo gallery - taken with my sony point and shoot. three of the trees were looking pretty good, so I made an appointment with ron and took the trees in to his studio, photo spectrum, to be photographed. the session took three hours. over 100 photos were taken , each one a little bit different than the one before. lights were added or subtracted. the height of the lights were raised and lowered, the intensity and direction of the lighting changed constantly, sometimes with each shot. filters were added or taken off. camera and lenses changed, reflectors were moved regularly. the process was truly amazing ron was total in command. five amazing pictures came out of this session. all the others were put on a separate CD. to say there is a BIG difference between my pictures and ron's is an understatement. see for yourself.
