A textbook example of how to convey depth in two-dimensions. I'm gratified by the discussion of shooting styles and techniques in this thread. I find that my technique is evolving to resemble this method. I see a situation develop, I picture the shot I want, and then I shoot every time it seems like the situation may enfold. For example, today I was sitting, camera in lap, while my wife talked to my aunt. I noticed that each time she turned to face my wife, the sun lit up her face in profile. However, because the sun was going in her eyes, she assiduously avoided turning to look at my wife. I had to wait about ten minutes for my shot, and rather than sitting there with my camera at my eye, which would have drawn too much attention to the fact that I was taking pictures, I dropped it to my chest. Bottom line, I missed the shot a couple of times, may have gotten it five or six times, and even shot one from the chest. Any suggestions from the LUG on how I might have done this differently, or was I right in working this way?
