What's a faster moving subject than a wedding? A Normandy Beach landing? Can you get the bride tossing the bouquet in the air then the gals catching it? Then holding it up in the air? The flowers sailing through the air? I certainly have. And when I don't get those shots once or twice I don't feel real good about it. Yes an SLR is faster as is a Leica rangefinder. I'll say getting a shot in square format is easier. Squares are easier to work with. Even when you don't plan on doing any cropping. -- Mark R. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/winterdays/ > From: Bill Pearce <billcpearce at cox.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Fri, 16 Mar 2012 13:44:08 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: Re: [Leica] B&W Leica?
