That's why I suggested we share contact sheets. I find studying
contact sheets a very revealing exercise.

techniques that Godfrey told us about was prefocusing to about 7 feet
and then leaving the camera set to AV with about +.5 compensation.
Along with that, shooting about 24mm focal length to give some working
room. That way, you could be ready for a fast changing scene,
without having
to even bring the camera to your eye to compose.

This shot was done in that manner. In fact, just as we stopped
walking for a moment, I just put the camera over my shoulder and
pressed the shutter - wasn't even fully aware of the scene behind me.
Any thoughts? Certainly I am prepared to be blasted...

I saw you take that and didn't look behind us either. Not exactly
what I had in mind ... more of a random exposure ... but it worked
remarkably well anyway!
