[Leica] WAS::Black ZI NOW HOW TO MOVE! ;-) in CROWDED ROOM! ;-)

[bdcolen at earthlink.net (B. D. Colen)]

"Sit" can also be an operative word - When doing families, I will often
find a spot in a room that provides a good vantage point, plop myself
down with cameras at my feet, and just stay there for half-an-hour,
varying camera body-lens combos, or working with the zooms, to get
different parts of the flow around me.

Hi Feli,
It's quite simple really, because your subjects are engrossed in their 
meeting discussions and really pay you no attention. However, if you're
a 
stumble bum, kick waste cans over or are making "camera and lens
changing 
noises .... you will be asked to leave!"

And that's where the M cameras come in. Or that's been my experince on
many 
of these type of meeting assignments. And therein comes the use of 3 M's
at 
one time.... you do not have to change lenses, you sit there watch the
light 
and the expressions and click away. :-)

And definately when you move, you hold the cameras into your body so
they 
don't clank together.
