Thanks Corrie, this is where I show my age, I didn't like all the buttons and LCD stuff on the digital camera's not to mention LCD viewfinders. to me that seemed like a to big jump of faith. though the d70 and some other's are pretty amazing. I will begin looking for a polarizer..thanks :-)

I found out a lens that has gets to infinity around 10 feet.
The only thing that does that is a 28mm maybe other's but thats the first one, that I have seen so far with it stopped at f16. I like the idea of the polarizer to bring out more of the reflections shall start my quest. Thanks Deb.
Deb I was using the dof preview as a sunscreen.

The polarizer would be able to help you get both the bottles and the car in focus, but the dof also has a big part to play. With the bottles being as close to the glass as they are, it shouldnt be too difficult. Like Deb said, you can turn the polarizer filter until you get the reflection of the car in the way you want it. You could also totally remove the reflection if you wanted to. Such a handy little tool.... : )

Thanks for all of the advice, with the filter will I be able to focus on the bottles and get them clear and get the car image focused too, or is this a Depth of field issue and a different type of lens?
or a combination of filter and Cheryl's and Larry's idea about distance. knew I should paid attention in physics.
I appreciate all of the help :-)

Nice composition and justaposition. ;)
To answer your question: The polarizer will definitely help. As you turn it, it will go from completely removing the reflection to completely revealing it - it's a gradual thing, not all or nothing.
You can get away with a linear polarizer with your Leica (less expensive); the circular polarizers are for use with autofocus (film or digital).
As for film cameras, there's no real difference between digital and film when it comes to practice; the same techniques work both places. Don't let the evangelists for either side confuse the issue for you. ;)

I think you need to lock in on something the same distance away to where this would be shot then pan over and click on the window (like focus on a pillar to the side then pan to the window and click). Don't quote me though... :)

Not so sure you can with either a digital or film camera. My first thought was the car image was clear on the glass, the bottles are not too far behind, BUT it came to me there is a longer distnace from the actual car to the glass....make sense?? Hope so.
Like you could get both the sign on the glass and the bottles to focus together.

That wouldn't get rid of the reflection would it, worked hard to try to balance the car and alcoholic beverages and no I haven't tried any filters yet. Would what you suggest work?

Hm...you may have some luck with a circular polarizer filter....Ive found these to be quite helpful when working with reflections. (then again...you may have already tried that...)
So glad to see that SOMEONE out there is still working with a film camera...sometimes i feel as though ive been left in the dark ages!
Yet another intruqing storefront...Thanks!!
