[LRFlex] Re: shooting the high life (lowlifes?) around Milwaukee taverns



Hey Andy- wish I was there for Oktoberfest, I'm pretty tired of Mexican food
actually.
Octoberfests are held at numerous ethnic clubs around the city-usually in Sept (go figure-- guess its to cold for the chicago crowd) But if you really want to do some serious partying you should come up for the 11 days before the fourth of July for Summerfest. Its held on the lakefront and is booked as one of the biggest music festivals in the country catering to all tastes on 10 or more stages. Plenty of brew, great food, music, friendly people and photo ops galore. No need the be real covert here as most are more than willing to pose or don't care or realize if you pop off a couple of candids.
After summerfest we have the ethnic festivals (Italian, German, Polish, Irish and a few others) on the same grounds. Same deal on the beer food and people. Every other Fourth of July we have the "Great Circus Parade". They ship in the old horse drawn circus wagons from Circus World Museum in Baraboo Wi and horse teams from all over the country and parade them on a six mile route through downtown MKE. Just like the circus parades of the early 19 century. Very colorful and great photo ops. One of these years I'll have to stick around town and grab some more shots


I bet you could get some great shots, if you used a good TLR (my favorite
hands down, Minolta Autocord) with some Ilford 3200 film, allowing you to
set the camera for a large  DOF at about f/11 or above, prefocussed at 10or
12 feet,  hang it off your shoulder and just casually frame with the waist
level finder.  while you are looking away or scratching your butt or
otherwise seeming not to be taking their photo. No one wants to be hit on
the head with a beer stein.

Nikon F outfit with a WLF and a 35mm f/1.4 F lens pretty 
cheap, no one is buying this generation gear anymore as even the F2 and F3
is dirt cheap. But I really have to squint to see that tiny groundglass at
waist level!

Tell me about it I've got two F's laying in a drawer that I won't part with because the price is to low

Yours, Steven
