I've been reading this thread with interest, and all the tips have been wonderful ones, but I haven't really come across "the one" (for me, at least).
Then I read yours, Bob, and it clicked. I'd say, "always have a camera with you". If you don't have one, get a tiny 35mm - even a p&s - and keep it in your pocket at all times. I pretty much always have a camera around my neck when I leave the house, but if it's really inconvenient to do that, I'll put my little Minolta HiMatic F (about the size of a Rollei 35) in a pocket. I just got sick of being without a camera, and seeing a shot, but having no camera with me. Some days (not many <g>) I won't take a shot, but I like having a body with me at all times "just in case". I guess a corollary to that would be "take lots of pictures". It's the only way one will get good - it won't guarantee it, but it'll help... cheers, frank Bob Blakely wrote: > Not necessarily the best, but I say, "Don't be stingy with the film."
