Take a look...

Study the photos of great photographers. Look at the placement of
objects inside the frame.

Starting with Ansel Adams ?


For instance. Or Man Ray, Cindy Sherman, Cartier-Bresson, Joseph Koudelka,
Duane Michaels, Dirk Braeckman, Brassai, Robert Adams, William Eggleston,
the magnum-family (http://www.magnumphotos.com), August Sander, Bernd &
Hilla Becher, Dieter Appelt, Araki Nobuyoshi, Lee Friedlander, ... and I'm
sure everyone on this newsgroup can drop dozens of other names that they
find worth looking at. Too bad googling for 'famous photographer' won't be
any help. Maybe visiting your local library might be useful to discover some
new heroes.

Have you heard about Tomislav Peternek ?

I feel strange when I`m taking pics of people... I`m always wandering
will they be angry if they see me while I`m doing that

I won't, so feel free to come to Gent (Belgium) to make some pictures of me.

If I go there one day, I will

When you're not afraid, you will eventually find the interaction with your
subject very amusing. Even without talking. Just don't give up,
photographing strangers can be scary (especially in the beginning), but that
doesn't mean you're not cut out for people-pictures.

I`ll try again today... wish me luck

Not yet, but if google has, I soon will too ;-)

I didn't mean which way he was facing, I meant you are too far away from his
face.

Don`t think google will give satisfaying results. You`ll get his home
page, anyway... I think that he has a version in english, also.

I'm sure there's a lot of potential in your index-finger (you know, the one
that presses the shutter-release), you just have to find a way to squeeze it
out ;-)

A cable release works well. It tends to slow down the body so
that the mind can catch up.

Electros. I love that camera. I have two. I think the lens' give great
results. Back to your battery question. Just use the standard 6 volt
replacement battery and compensate with your ASA dial, 80 ASA instead of
100, 320 ASA instead of 400 etc. works great

yeah Too bad you can`t change objectives... Plus, I don`t have even
those one you could buy in a package with camera...

Wow, wait. HOW to comepnsate ASA ?

And, I`m ashamed to ask this, but what is ASA ? As far as know, that`s
something about film reaction to light or something like that... ??

Quite extraordinary photos, indeed...

This is also OT but I must say... I had great time in Budapest ! I was
staying at hotel "Golden park", in the center of the city, although, you
can get for one side of town to another in 15-20 minutes using metro.
Budapest is VERY nice city and it`s a must see if you travel in this area
of Europe.

Belgrade is simillar, but we don`t have proper turism... yet. That`s
shame...

ISO, DIN, ASA is all the same thing really a scale for measuring film speed.
The orginal battery for the Electros was a 5.6V and the 6.0 works but your
negs will be a bit underexposed. By rotating the dial on top of the Electro
body from 100 down to 80 (or even 50) you'll add a bit more density to your
neg.
