Dear Mike, The second part of your two-part exercise reminds me of the scales and studies that musicians have to practise every day. Without playing double-stops in thirds sixths octaves and tenths and all those violin studies long enough, it's just not possible to play the Beethoven violin concerto, let alone perform it. So perhaps this is the same for photography. If we want to turn up something decent, we need to sharpen up our senses with these exercises. This should be interesting and I can't wait to give it a try. Thank you Mike for another great idea! Siu Hay

Why did they drop Reala? Isn't it the Velvia of negatives?
