I was worried that it might be me, because I'm famous for telling people to do just that. Go shoot with just one lens, and one film type, because that's what I do. (or did before I went mostly digital) I noticed that you had gone out with five film types, I think it was, to try out your new M6, and a Lugger, indeed suggested you simplify. I don't think he suggested one lens, (though I would have.) Anyhow, it seemed to have pissed you off enough that you went out and shot some nice pictures. That said, this gallery you presented contains some nice stuff as I said before, while I was on the road, but suffers because it is a slide show, and the weak shots drag down some really superb images. A little editing could go a long way to strengthening this set, but I cannot make suggestions, because there is no way to identify them for you. I presume these are not all M6 shots, not that they need to be, several just don't look lika Leica. Hope you keep posting. You have promise. I especially like the fact that when you photograph children or birds or dogs you shoot them at their eye level. Not too many people around here or anywhere on the entire Earth get that. A Big Fat Blue Ribbon for you there. ;-) -- Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com http://sonc.stumbleupon.com/ Natchitoches, Louisiana (+31.754164,-093.099080) USA On Sat, Oct 10, 2009 at 9:13 AM, Peter Cheyne <geordiepete211 at yahoo.co.uk>wrote: > Hi Luggers, > > I've been lurking for about a year here, since i joined.
