Yeah, my problem is that I didn't recognize the problem. I completely forgot about the fluorescent lighting. I should have turned them off to see how it looked. Oh well, a good lesson learned.

Just to clarify, I don't EVER double-book. I never have, and never will. When I speak of 2nd shooters, they are there WITH ME to operate a 2nd camera.

Joe,

That's definitely a good way to look at it. I think we're actually on roughly the same page here.
