Sonar is an event destinated to young people basically, is electronic music (I don't like this) but everybody is happy there and it is very rare that some one protest if you focus to him, the se?oritas I've shot they have realized (after the shot) I've take a picture and always it was an smile..., what else elements do we need to do a pleasant picture? Thank you mon amy, you made me the day ... or the night here cheers Lluis El 13/09/2011, a las 0:15, <tedgrant at shaw.ca> <tedgrant at shaw.ca> escribi?: > Lluis Ripoll SHOWED: > Subject: [Leica] Sonar 2: Casual se?oritas portraits > > > Lluis, > I know Barcelona has a wonderful selection of what we might say > varying degrees of beautiful and interesting ladies.:-) Because > during the 1992 Summer Olympics it was quite difficult to keep ones > mind on the Summer Sports with all the beauties walking about. :-) > We were told it was OK to look!
