Amazing suggestion, do you think it might be possible? I mean it is crucial to ones photographic well being to discuss filters, bags and colour of the new M leatherette to make ones heart beat faster ! ;-) However? Like for openers, we might discuss the most important element of successful photography, light! The good, bad and awful light we see used in pictures posted. ;-) Not only here but in many other internet sites. I swear at times the content is wonderful, but the lack of light understanding and use kills what could have been a " very fine photograph!" But these things can be corrected as we've seen over the years by the folks who've attended the Leica Seminar year after year. And we hear.... "Your idea of ---- shooting from the shadow side -----is so effective it's changed the look and impact of my pictures way beyond what I expected! Thanks for teaching us how important the right light really is to the impact of a picture." So Tina we'll see. :-) ted
