[Leica] New Series

[photo at frozenlight.eu (Nathan Wajsman)]

Yes, that is one Spanish tradition that I never plan to adopt. I  
watched the running of the bulls in Pamplona live on TV last Sunday,  
and I was disgusted rather than thrilled.

Having said that, I agree with Sonny that Neil's pictures suffer from  
being shot from the stands. Looking at the exif, he is using a point  
and shoot, and I suspect that the images are heavily cropped to give  
an illusion of being really close. I think that if I were to do a  
series on bullfighting, I would focus more on the spectators and  
perhaps the preparations and aftermath of the bullfight, when you can  
(I assume) get closer to the participants and capture the  
concentration, apprehension and whatever other emotions they exhibit  
before the bullfight.
