After all the years of practice and pushing that stupid little button, sometimes our brain just knows, even though we don't, when to twitch that finger.<<<<<< I think this is what I mean when I say: "SEE IT=== CLICK!" Don't think or it's gone! Or it can work as "A gut feeling---CLICK!" I'VE WATCHED SOME SHOOTERS STAND AND LOOK== then LOOK AT CAMERA BACK TO SCENE, LOOK AT CAMERA. And when they finale "click" they're standing in the wrong light direction! :-( But then most times we learn by doing/shooting and throwing away photo after photo. In most cases we finally make the grade and begin to capture a few good images. cheers, ted -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Robert Adler Sent: January-02-16 7:05 PM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Armchair in the Sun - Bob A I find some of my best photos are when my "brain doesn't think". After all the years of practice and pushing that stupid little button, sometimes our brain just knows, even though we don't, when to twitch that finger. Many images that are my worst were when I was overthinking. And many of my best are what you did here: point and click. I just never know, so I click in both thinking and not thinking situations, much like many here...
