The weird thing about the boat pic is that I shot it with a lonnnng lens -- longest I've ever used, which is also out of something for me. It's funny,but I find using the digital is getting me to look at and for color - but in terms of scenes and objects, as I still see people in b&w, and shooting them digitally, want to convert to bw...or shoot them with bw film.

I particularly like the building with boat photograph as everything is "straight" properly composed and exposed without any leaning to the building. In the general sense of "nice weather" to take pictures it's not very invigorating, but sometimes that's just the time to be out shooting as it gives one a "new look" to some old scenes. Much like going out as soon as first light begins in the city and strolling around as the dawn light begins to add magic to our world. It sure beats all the crap you have to put up with at high noon traffic and people. Well done B.D. sometimes it's the most relaxing time of being a photographer without hassles while shooting a few "nice picture moments" purely because the scene is motivating to do so. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
