However I want share > with you a general view to this nice village, the procession and the > famous "Dance of Death" (in catalan: Dansa de la mort). a wonderful series Lluis, dark, eerie, atmospheric...spooky as we say. re the high ISO...I have never shot above ISO 800... even with film btw. this might be a good situation to try auto ISO with the lens wide open and the highest ISO set to max 1250 or even at 640 with a 1.4 lens...... and see how that works... in any case I think it all works out fine...and I appreciate seeing these very moving reportage images... amities, Steve > > Thanks for looking, I'll appreciate your comments and critics > > Saludos cordiales > Lluis > > > _______________________________________________ > Leica Users Group. > See http://leica-users.org/mailman/listinfo/lug for more information
