Better round sphericals than square, I always say.

I was differentiating them from the ovoid form, although, thinking about it, the latter shape is closer to what I had in mind

As long as we do not reach the point of someone claiming that athletes running through Tate Britain is art.......................now that is a load of round sphericals.

you're not he only one Howard. i didn't enter this competition because I just can't get to grips with the genre, 99.9% of what I see are just snaps, even those by acclaimed 'artists'.

The merits and justifications for these images, 'what a marvelous juxtaposition of the thingamy with the door jamb', just leaves me speechless. I'm not talking about the judges on here, but on reviews of the work of weejee, arbus and others. There was no time to 'see' the elements of some images because the moment was so fleeting. it's only the interpretation put on the images AFTER processing. The images are deemed art because we have been told they are.

As you can tell, I'm still at a loss with this subject.
I agree.

I do not think that I came to terms with what was required.

The street 'bit' seems to be incidental to people doing strange things on the street.

Fortunately I did not come across any dodgy charaters wielding knives, but I guess that if I had, the resulting image might have been a contender.

In general I cannot really understand why we should do all these mono conversions.

Thank you for all your replies.

So the answer is autofocus (continuous) with continuous shooting and lots of practice
