That’s my biggest fear. Not to get enough in the frame. I should have to take a few steps back to make the photos and I will need to change my way of seeing things. Humm seems a lot to me 😉 I would like to try anyway the 50 mm in the streets. Just to try something new. It’s all about the comfort zone I talked about lately. Well … That’s what I would like to do … We’ll see if I can kick my ass to do What I said.
I take more and more fun to shoot manually with my Fuji XE2. Of course, it’s less instinctve than shooting with the GRD IV but I kinda like it

Blurred out backgrounds are great for family shoots and portraiture, not street. Plus it does some really strange rendering for n certain light. Okay if you’re at some distance from your subject though. I use a 3 stop ND Filter, same problem because my Leica only goes up to 1/4000.

Anyway, I really like those shots, the one of Gwen on the bridge and those of the boys are brilliant. Of course we know that the one with you in is set up, sucking in your stomach for 1/8000 doesn’t fool anyone 😉
