Steve Paxton replied to Ko Hummel:

I think you are 100% right a lot of names I dont see myself and still dont see even though I am doing these types of photos. none the less thank you for taking the time we both know just how easy these photos are. I must admit I am enjoying the chance with Narrow band filters the results are outstanding.
I have only just found the answer to one of the riddles that was holding me back with my photos If I am right you will start to see LRGB photos that I could not take before.
