By shooting in this manner you retain a real life look which I feel is so important viewing a picture as it says far more about the picture moment than all the flash blasted images in the world. When my wife and I look at old pictures when our children were little kids we can feel the moments of the pictures far more than if they were all flash blasted, which inturn destroys more than it helps. It may have an exposure but that's about all. So many photographers who own Leica's are gutless wonders when it comes to shooting by available light. Even though they hold in their hands one of the finest picture taking tools for shooting by available light or available darkness. In your practice images, "Practice?" hell keep this up and you'll be putting a number of folks on the list to shame! ;-) Because there are many here the light is so effective and enhancing it's a joy to look at them and feel the warmth of the moment. We'll look for more of this kind of picture taking in the future no matter if it's practice or not. :-) Call 'em whatever you wish, we wont care, as long as they look as good as these! :-) ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
