[Leica] Question

[Tina Manley]

All true.  I prefer the side of the bus that is nearest the edge of the
road - varies in some countries!  Also, when shooting through the window, I
like to shoot wide open at highest speeds - the shallow depth of field
helps with the window dirt and scratches.  Watch out for reflections on the
windows.

Morocco is fantastic.  Here are a few ancient photos:

Enjoy!!
