The matrix metering obviously took account of the traffic signal lamp in this case. The image overall is low key and the crops if not considered in context may look underexposed but overall I think that the image successfully conveys the feel of the light at the time. You could always massage the levels to brighten it up and add more contrast/punch and then oversaturate it to blazes so it looked more like near everyone else's idealized images of course, maybe even give it the "HDR treatment" ;-) -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
