FWIW, I find that the more emotionally involved I am with the subject (be it a person, music, event, whatever) the better my pictures IMO. But then again, I only make pics for myself ;-) The closer I am to something, the more I get lost in it when filming/shooting. Just my .02 Kind regards ========== I agree. It also helps, when one is taking a shot of something one likes, to have some basic understanding of composition and visual symbols. I feel if something made me feel a certain way, and I can capture it effectively, it will make 1-# others feel the same way. Marnie aka Doe
