Each time you have the man jump over the puddle you shoot at a different f-stop. Of course, you also need to bracket the shutter speed to get just the right blurr. So: since BW can bracket in one stop increments due to latitude of film so F 4 @1/15th, 1/30 and 1/60 and repeat at F5.6 and F/8. That is only nine shots and exactly the ring around bracket I do (only in 1/2 stop increments) for mixed strobe/ambient mix. And by the end the guy will get the jump down/ If you study the picture you will see the shoes look wet, so obviously this is not the first of the brackets and the guy can't jump very far. F/5.6 at 1/30th is my vote. I'm looking for volunteers to try to do Capa's famous Spanish civil war photo over. Gotta fix the framing. Let's see, it will need nine of you with the bracketing. But the Email load will go down afterwards. donal - -- Donal Philby San Diego http://www.donalphilby.com
