Everybody shoots their ass off trying to get good shots, particularly street shooters. No other way to do it.<<<<< Hi Guys, Film is the cheapest commodity on any shoot and to even think about "not using too much" is archaic to the very thought of picture taking and making images. If one shoots the obvious first,........"Oh gee look at that!" Click! Shoot quick as that's the first point of motivation. Heck don't even think about it being a throw away frame, quite often it is. Then? Bingo a keeper! After that, start to look hard, do a 360 around the subject recording each thing that is motivational in a photogenic manner. In other words milk the situation for everything it's worth and edit on the light table. Many a great picture has been discovered on the contact sheet! Use film, beats the hell out of going back to re-shoot if it's even possible. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
