To all the pros, or close to it, who obviously know this stuff, I apologize for this bit of info, but no matter how much I shoot, every so often I get fed up with what I produce and start thinking this or that isn't any good, never me. Then I play around and find the all too obvious solution. At that point this time, I made some changes before shooting scenics of fall and voile, beauty to the eyes. I was starting to think Nikon isn't so good. The lenses aren't. The F5 isn't. Let me say this to any who don't know, or refuse to really believe it, slower slide film, a good polarizer, and a good tripod kick butt. With them I got beautiful exposures from the F5, although I often bracketed, great sharpness and color from the Nikon 24, 50, and 105 mm lenses and the tripod, deep colors from the polarizer and slow film, and no processing changing the color due to the use of slide film. Hope this helps someone else like it did me. GG
