Don't forget, there were countless millions of really awful images captured on 4x5 film...;-) -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+bdcolen=earthlink.net@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Feli di Giorgio Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 5:40 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] Check out April 5 Newsweek.

Yeah, but having only a limited amount shots, or even only one, sure makes you pay a hell of a lot closer attention to what's actually going on. I see a lot of people with digital cameras, and 999 shots available, often just shooting and not really "looking". If you then look at what they are actually shooting, it's often nothing. They are not following the action or emotional arch of the subject, trying to anticipate the "decisive moment". But then again the above it what separates the men from the boys (or women from the girls). In other words shooters who make great shots and others who were merely at the same event.
