However, instead of getting "physically closer" a step or two in their direction which may well intimidate some of these good folks, I'd look at a slightly longer lens, but not more than a 90. Or enlarging the scene in the final print. And even though you know these people you have to weigh their "camera re-action" to making successful pictures. It's all well and good to get closer, but if in doing so you begin to make the subjects or even one uncomfortable, you loose the natural look and make some feel uneasy. Which in this case isn't necessary. At this point it might be worth a quick look at enlarging one or two. But don't forget "these are your pictures and how you like them" along with the feel you wish to create or in how you see them. Personally when I saw them first I liked the kind of "over all not in their faces feel." ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
