If you didn't have a good shot, tough, something was to be submitted. Personally I found it a very difficult exercise. Being limited to a single roll of film meant that I was more restrained when I came across particular scenes. Whereas normally I might take half a roll of film looking for one that was on the money, I found myself holding back and taking two or three frames because I didn't know if something better was going to come along. The lesson I learned was that in future under similar circumstances I should go with my instincts and shoot away. If that meant that I got back to the pub an hour before everyone else so be it :-) Steve -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+mail=steveunsworth.co.uk@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+mail=steveunsworth.co.uk@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of R.

The alternative is that maybe three of them have any kind of eye at all and those three were having off days.
