The shot that created my "anxiety attack" ;-) was one that I felt had to be right on the mark because the light was so perfect it couldn't have been wrong! Hell, I suppose I over reacted to what appeared a great photo moment in the viewfinder. Then when I had all the technique elements right and looking at the negs on the light table I figured it was going to be a hummer of a picture. Well all the photo elements were perfect, but the one that usually sorts my work out from others, the life or emotion of the moment wasn't there. So here I was with finger cutting sharp as only the 100 2.8 macro can cut in film, wonderful light, nice composition, so what ! :-( Anyway, back at 'er again today and we'll see shortly what the efforts are worth. What the heck can't be any worse than yesterday unless they're all out of focus! ;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
