I certainly don't when using auto focus or zoom lenses.
Though I do occasionally lean back and forth when using primes
and/or manual focus lenses, and range finders - to actually achieve fine focus
No way was she racked full out with that lens.
We were both within 10 - 15 feet to the subject.
The singer definitely had a natural talent, and a strong, unique style.
She covered a lot of material from Natalie Merchant to Bonnie Raitt
and gave every arrangement "her own" jazzy arrangement.
She hit the occasional rough spots - though sailed right on with great charm.
Thanks for taking a look.
