But it was so friendly. The legislation changed on Jan1st and it now looks more like this - taken last Sunday afternoon - looks dull to me. http://tinyurl.com/27z5ul <http://tinyurl.com/27z5ul%3c%3c%3c> <<< Non, non, mon ami, :-) You took the pictures at different times of the day in colour and B&W. Hardly fair to compare one unto the other. Not only that it?s obviously a different lunch crowd compared to the Sunday evening student crowd! :-) But the new ?No smoking? is wonderful! Instead of your lungs dying and you younger because the lungs can?t deliver oxygen to your system, now you have a great number of years added to your photography life! :-) You can tell I?ve never smoked. Oh there was the time something to do with ?grass? Pot? Whatever it?s called? :-) but I didn?t inhale.;-) :-) There will be mood at midnight, smoking or no smoking. Here?s a trick for effect. :-) Get a piece of ?silk stocking? where ever you can find a lady to give hers up. ;-) Pull it tight over the lens and shoot through it and you?ll have a surprising smoke effect while using daylight balanced film or digital set for daylight under tungsten lighting . :-) Metering? I just meter right through the camera and click! :-) ted
