It's faces like that, that put the magic in The Magic Kingdom. I wander
hither and thither with my Hektor or a Canon f2 100 giving myself a 200 base
efl.. My "normal" lens is a 28mm Ultron giving me a base efl of 56mm. I
really don't like to intrude on people's space, but have a big smile ready
when I do. As Dr. Ted said, the atmosphere is quite relaxed and EVERYONE has
a digicam. What has happened surpasses the halcyon days of 35mm in the 60s.
It's beautiful- everyone is making images. How great is that?? Never has the
photograph or the digital image had such a rennaissance. People generally
accept the fact that a lens is pointed at them in good spirit- this is a
marvelous time for image making art. Rog
