I find that I'll take many shots of the same subject, but not at the same time. There are a couple of things that I've obsessed upon over the years, and continually take photos of. An old wrecked Jaguar sedan (saloon to you Brits <g>), maybe a Mark IV, sits in tall grass next to a house in my neighbourhood. Toronto's Flatiron Building (sorry, Mike, but maybe it doesn't count if it's not the NYC one? <g>). Several other buildings here in Toronto.
I've got dozens of shots of these obsessions, with different lighting, different seasons, different bodies and lenses, different films. And, I'm thinking that by passing by these things every couple of weeks or months gives me a different outlook. I rarely set out to walk by these subjects, so it's not planned, but invariably I'll find myself walking by them on a regular basis and I can't resist taking a couple of shots! Still haven't gotten the "perfect shot" of any of them, though... <g> ciao, frank Dan Scott wrote: > Sure.
