Jim

      Thank you for the encouragement.... I agree with what you wrote... and
I am not totally abandoning the greater separation... my main point was I
did not feel I have the ability to take a synced shot, when subjects are
moving, assuming their is some foreground in my scene.  And much of what I
wanted to shoot was similar to that...  I can't get my cameras any closer
and therefore must be limited to shooting synced shots of far subjects
only...

Bill
