Subject: [Leica] Shooting styles in Burma

Hi Luggers,
Burma proved to be fertile ground for photos and there are many photo tours 
coming to the country.
I noticed a great difference in shooting styles among photographers.

There were the Canon Brigades with tripods and long zoom lenses like this 
group at the Shwedagon Pagoda in Rangoon;

I didn't care for their sneaky shooting style when the Burmese I met enjoyed 
having their pictures taken and were prepared to interact with you.

My style was quite different - I liked to talk to the subjects or at least 
hand signal and smile with them. This is me in action taken by son-in-law 
Ian:

in order to get pictures like this one of Mom and Babe - X Pro 1 and 60mm 
f2.4

Of course, sometimes, lovers like these under their umbrella don't want you 
to see them nor interact with you:

Please look large. C& C always welcome.
