marching band 01 rw

Houston downtown

a rangefinder has some advantages over a DSLR for catching action, particularly at a crowded parade
I get far fewer spectator bits in my frames when using an RF than when using an SLR & a rangefinder proves very useful for anticipating action
this was severely cropped per a suggestion made to me by the estimable Ece of DPR's Leica Forum
I think the crop makes for a much better photograph, but I hate to deny the third young lady her moment in the air
my original version ca be found in my >>techniques<< gallery here -----> http://www.pbase.com/artichoke/techniques
