A corollary to that, of course, is that if I find that the thing in the viewfinder is too small, I walk forward until it's the right size, if it's too big, I step backwards. During all of this, I'm keeping to mind Robert Capa's famous dictum: "If your photos aren't good enough, you're not close enough." Maybe I only listen to Capa because anyone who could have an affair with Ingrid Bergman is okay with me... ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
