What subjects do we shoot?

[Sandy Sorlien]

Matnikon,

How are LF shooters' droppings different from other animals?

(oh-oh, this is a soft lob--- the answer is obviously LARGER FORMAT.)

cj,

How loquacious of you. Bet you take picture too.

As others have said I also shoot most anything that doesn't move too fast or shoot back at me. Had the latter happen once. Saw a potentially good scenic from the I-5 freeway in No. CA. Got off the freeway to get a better angle on the scene. Went up (found out later) a private dirt road. At the end of the road was a 10+- year old boy with a shot gun in hand. I immediately turned around and speed off. Nothing's worth it.

I'll be trying some hand-held 4x5 at Venice, CA beach this summer on my Crown Graphic. BTW anyone with film/lens suggestions?

Good light to you all,

Steve

Steve, FWIW some of the farmers in Northern California are extremely guarded about the local cash crops. I was once at a meeting where the pros and cons of reopening a trail in a remote, dry, debris filled canyon were being tossed around. One of the cons was that nearby residents were concerned of the possibilty of wildfires being started by careless hikers. A gruff old Cowboy stood up and remarked "H@ll! You don't needn't worry about no G@#d%&mn fires gettin started, everythin up theres on drip irrigatin"
