A point to keep in mind when you've got a major clutter background as we see here and that is; try working with the lens wide open to lessen the depth of field even more than we have here. As you want it as far as possible out of focus, unless there is a reason for it to be a "somewhat in focus" part of the picture in a story telling aspect. It's a semi nit picking point, however, on some occasions it can make all the difference between a successful photograph "Yeah alright look at this beauty!" reaction, compared to the ...."oh well a nice picture of Charlie." it's called the learning curve! ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
