This subject is about 2-1/2 hours from home. Occaisionally my job takes my by here to catch a 2 pm helicopter. On this particular day I needed to come earlier. This shot was taken about 9 am. Your're right. Early morning light would be much better. There's a 6 am flight that I could possibly take that would bring my by here about 5 am. Maybe it will work out one day. It better be soon. This guy is about 1 tropical storm away from destruction.
Maybe someone will produce a grid screen for the *ist-D. I've been tipping my camera up to line up the base of the frame with the horizon then carefully tipping it back down for the final composition. It's not really working too well. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kenneth Waller Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2004 12:45 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: My first PAW Kevin, what a great subject! As nice an image as it is, this really needs early morning or late afternoon sun light to take it to the next level. This looks like a subject that you could burn alot of Velvia (or pixels) on. Work it. I use a grid marked focusing screen in all my camera bodies to help with the tilt. Another possibility is a clip on bubble level.
