First, I was afraid to move to the left, because it might have caught their attention, which is what happened in the other shot. So, I chose to avoid their line of sight. In response to the second question, there is always a lot of activity, with young folks and a large dog around, in addition to meal preparations, so I chose to use the zoom lens only. I think I could have done a better job on that shot with my 50mm Summicron-R, or perhaps with the Elmarit-R 28mm, but I did not have them with me.
