It's such a beautiful relaxing form of photography to do. No high pressure assignment shoot, it's quietly walking along, camera in hand and all of a sudden the visual motivation light goes on and.... "Oh jeeesh look at that!" Click, in some cases it's several clicks making various exposures with bracketing and different compositions, hopefully each better than the previous. It's a feel good shoot! One of the most relaxing kind of picture taking exercises we can do and have fun at the same time. And you know what? If you blow the whole lot who cares it was a fun moment completely ours without any thought of whether anyone likes it or not. Well done Felix. ted - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
