[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Thanks Aaron-- A couple of people commented and asked about the fly. Archive has some details. I will try to find a chance to comb all the shots in that flurry and see if I can put together the good the bad and the ugly along with notes when I get home next week. The Optio continues to amaze me also. It is a shirt pocket camera after all. Trick here: aperture preferred for max DOF, flash on to stop motion, prefocus a close up approximating how close I think I can get, keep release half depressed, stalk fly, when focus looks pretty close on screen-fire. Thanks for peeking. Ric Carter http://gallery.leica-users.org/Passing-Fancies On May 5, 2006, at 8:22 AM, Aaron Sandler wrote: > Great shots this week, Ric.
