Believe it or not, reasons 1 and 2 ARE related. Hi Snake Some of the shots were at f4, and one (no 15 I think) was at 5.6. The rest were at 2.5. I can't shoot in this style at anything less than 1/250 and get sharp images, hence the big apertures. I have to change my style radically once the shutter gets down to 1/60... I become static, my subjects become static, and any movement comes from non-subjects whirling through frame. - -- Johnny Deadman photos: http://www.pinkheadedbug.com music: http://www.jukebox.demon.co.uk
