I don't agree with all of them but that's just artistic difference. > >1: OLD GUY.

Like get back from >him and use the longer lens to help blow out the back ground. Unfortunately not possible with the M7 as it's only 1/1000. I should remember to bring along some ND filters to allow me to blow out highlights easier. I'm too used to the 1/8000 speed on my EOS-3 and forget that I can't do f/2.0 @ 1/4000 with ISO 100 film. :-) > >The lemonade picture has several distracting elements.

I took several shots of the scene but that was the best, unfortunately. The scene was a visual pun, but nothing more...

I'll have to agree with you on this one! :-) Karen - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
