Hi Luggers,
The children have left or gone back to work and a certain tranquility has 
descended and is being gratefully enjoyed.
Over the holidays I was out and about a lot with my recently acquired 
Olympus E M 1 and 12 - 40 F2.8 Pro zoom.
The M1 has a feature which allows you to touch the screen at the point - any 
point on the screen - you want the camera to focus and when
focus is achieved the shutter trips. When you combine that feature with the 
up / down tilt rear screen you can take a picture where the subject doesn't 
think you are making a photograph - the camera is not at arms length or up 
at your eye - but you are focusing on the screen and the shutter trips.
It is a technological substitute for Lluis's invisibility cloak. Please have 
a look at this baker's dozen of photos starting with this one:

and then scroll left. Please view large and enjoy. C&C always welcome.

Howard
