I use my pocket digital, there is often a problem with movement blur, but to avoid this, I just choose a bright day. Mind you...selling them....? My best shot was taken on a 5"x4" view camera.....! But you can't put that in your vest pocket! I also take street photos and these, because of the problems of photographing people for profit I put through a painterly effect which makes individuals unrecognisable. It even changes the colour of their cloths and skin a bit and it distorts their features so that the picture is no longer a legal document but a work of art. By the way, yesterday afternoon, the whole of the South of England was one big traffic jam because of a bad accident on the M25 near where I was heading. I was out for 4 hours but managed to spend 1/2 hour in a café after parking the car in a just vacated spot in Guilford. We did not make the café at the beauty spot where we were heading. Chris. Question: What happens to me when I die? Response: What happens to a cat when it dies? Answer: You throw it away. Response and answer: You are a clever cat!
