The biggest failure of most children pictures that come from LUG members is.......... the photographer forgets to bend their knees and they don't get down to the child's level. Consequently they blow the picture 99% of the time when they could've had a fine child moment capturing a simple activity. So for 2002, how about all you folks happily shooting kids please get down to their level! :-) Hey, you might be very surprised at how much your pictures improve. :-) Hell most of you are much younger than me and I've got 10 grandchildren to keep track of, so I have to do a fair amount of knee bending, that I can do, no problem. However, it's getting back up is the problem. That and a grandmother who's my worst nightmare if I don't get good pictures. ;-) So lets be careful out there and bend those knees for great kid pictures. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
