I was asking myself the same thing. Many people call portraits candids but I believe they're two different things. A portrait seems to be when the subject is aware, and a candid is when they are unaware of your shooting them. So sniping would relate to candid but not this type of photo. Right? Nothing against the photo Sonny :) but it's now a good example of a type of shot and the words used to describe it. - -- John Straus Chicago, IL http://SlideOne.com ==================== - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
