I just finished a review of Vue 7 Infinite and wrote two (non-video) tutorials. These can be found at the following URLs:

I will discuss animation in a follow-up review.

I really liked the overall review, and the water one is an excellent jump off point. Good stuff!

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.

really fantastic... everything is clear now! many thanks.

thanks Paula. The water one is great....I had no idea Vue 7 was so good at water. Too bad the exchange rate is so bad otherwise I'd spend my Aussie $s on an upgrade.

Many thanks for these tutorials
I like printed possible tutor
I can follow it more easily than video ones

And it was occasion for me to see yours very good photos fom Yucatan and Guatemala people
I dream as amateur photograph to approach people like this .It is not easy to do
I suppose it needs to enter in relations first with them  and develop an empathy with people
(excuse my bad english i am a french speaking person)

Your English is much better than my French or Spanish would be.

When I was in the Yucatan, I met some engineers who were working on a project in a small town. I went with them for a day to take pictures. They asked their 16 year old driver to show me around.  He introduced me to a lot of the people and they didn't mind my photographing them.

In Guatemala, we had a guide to some of the towns and he told the people it was OK. there I did pay small amounts to the people. Also, my Spanish was fluent then, and that helped.  Many of the pictures of city scenes were taken with a long lens. If anyone objected, I stopped.

I do have a funny story. When I lived in New York City, I used to go to Central Park to take pictures. I was in my twenties, then. One day I was taking pictures and some people thought it was of them. It was of something else and I tried to tell them that, but they would not listen. They threatened me and I had to climb a tree to protect my camera.

I'm glad you like the written tutorials. I plan to write more. Happy Holidays.

Your story about New York reminds me a comparable story i had in Paris long time ago (in twenties also for me ) near la fontaine Saint-Michel .I was photographing people around the fontaine with evening light .A guy coming to me .open his jacket and menacing me with a gun to not photographing him.Surely i said no no it was the fontaine and the guy go elsewhere (A friend say me it maybe because it was an  illegal immigrant)
At Montreal where i live people are more calm about photographersbut you must be discret

Joyeux Noël et bonne année!

Your story is a little scarier than mine.

Paula,
Odd how you tend to meet more psychos in your own part of the world, than abroad, isn't it? ;)
