The focus is on the water drops. I usually focus on the closest important subject. If the water drops had been out of focus, it would have bothered me. Maybe I should have gone for greater depth of focus and I could have with the light available. Hindsight!! >As an aside, dentists on your trip. Did they have Leicas? Who would have >thunk it ;-) Nobody's allowed to carry Leicas but me. Just kidding. Nobody has ever carried anything more than a point and shoot but, I have to say that the last couple of years, so many of the volunteers are carrying digital point and shoots and trying to arrange people in groups to take photos that it really interferes with what I'm trying to do. I usually breathe a sigh of relief when the rest of the group goes off to stay in a hotel and I stay there in the village. I'm not very patient with people trying to arrange and pose and saying "look at the camera and smile". It ruins any spontaneity I might have gotten. I'm a curmudgeon :-( Tina >Cheers >Hoppy > >-----Original Message----- >From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org >[mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of >Tina Manley >Sent: Tuesday, 16 January 2007 00:16 >To: paw@micapeak.com; lug@leica-users.org; MUGers@yahoogroups.com; >seephoto@micapeak.com; digitalusersgroup@yahoogroups.com >Subject: [Leica] IMG: Teeth > >PESO: > >I promised I'd put up a photo showing the silver-decorated teeth in >Guatemala.
