As in when using a Hasselblad superwide three feet is a good distance but four feet it's gone. Too small to see. A blob not a dominate form in the shot. So that's my advice in superwide shooting. Get close, then get closer. It all disappears really quick with that glass. You want something RIGHT IN YOUR FACE. The rest falls back and is the background. If its right in your face; just a couple of feet away; chances are it can serve as a dominate shape in the shot. ... what the shot is all about. Othewise it's all little stuff off in the distance. Way off in the distance. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.markrabiner.com - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
