No "technique" per se, Derby, but I have to say, I'm quite proud of this one. I didn't want them to know that I was photographing them, as I wanted a true candid. I was sitting across the aisle from them. As I didn't want to raise the camera to my eye, I estimated the exposure, figured that I was about 5 feet from them and set the focus scale accordingly, pointed the camera (still on my knee) in their general direction, and fired one. That was it. A one shot deal that I think turned out pretty well. Glad you liked it. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
