I had really good days which gave me something like 4 or 5. But this is the exception to the rule. Being an amateur like your self, I find the preliminaries before taking a picture is what I enjoy immensely. The looking for a motif. The thinking what lens to use and the actual setting up of the camera. Then the feel of the Leica M in my hand and pressing the shutter release. Regards, Horst Schmidt Then the waiting to have the film developed and receiving the prints. Then the slight disappointment, when the picture, you was so sure would be perfect, didn't turn out the way you envisaged ; and finally the happiness for the one or two prints worthwhile to be kept and to be enlarged. For me that's what its all about.
