If exposure and focus are no longer a problem, you are now ready to look for Leica glow. With time, practice and high standards, it comes. You will see it. Just keep shooting! Shoot the slowest film you can for a given situation. Shoot on a tripod, or fast speeds with wider apertures (that's a Leica advantage!) and fine tune exposure technique. Look for light that makes the picture more interesting. It's like a Rubic's cube. Difficult to get there, but satisfying when you do. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
