That's a sub specialty I'm not checked in on yet. And macro stuff is less of a Leica M thing. No I mean the first thing that comes to mind to point my camera at- A tree. I have no problem with shooting a tree. Trees are fine. "I think that I will never see...." >> Tree bark won't run away, hit you over the head with an umbrella or call the cops -- or whatever it is Anthony is afraid people will do if he points a camera at them. Today I photographed probably 20 different people while working on a story. Some worked at the black walnut processing plant I was visiting while others were just plain folks bringing their nuts in for sale. In almost every case I told the person what I was doing and asked for their name after I was done shooting them. None hit me with an umbrella (but then again, it wasn't raining today) though one was afraid I was going to knock on her door and try to sell her a print. Anyway, tree bark doesn't mind if you shoot its picture. Bob (you mind if I shoot a few pictures?) McEowen
