Really thoughtful image, Chuck. I wish I had your willpower to post only 1-image sets!
It's something I really struggled with for a long time. I thought more of my images were good than actually were! I have slowly got to a point where I know what I want out of an image. This is a curse and a blessing for me because many images that are 'solid' end up getting tossed, but the blessing comes because I have a roadmap as to what I want...the curse is that I am selective. The camera I'm currently using really helps me get to the final image I want in that regard. I definitely dont overshoot the way I used to! One frame at a time!

And exactly what camera are you using for someone to say it would have been hard with a DSLR?
This was shot with a Leica Monochrom. I don't think it would be impossible, but with scenes like this, a rangefinder's viewfinder really gives a nice frame that allows you to see what is coming in and coming out of the framelines. Allen and I have chatted a bit recently about 'timing'. This scene was already composed by me then it just became a matter of something coming in the frame and pressing the button. DSLRs can operate that way for sure, but you cannot see outside of the viewfinder.

I understand, thanks! for that exact reason I often shoot with my right eye on the view finder and my left eye remains open in scenes where im timing a subject coming into the frame. it definitely feels weird doing this lol
