Thanks, Ann! That shot was taken way out on the Grandfather Mountain ridge trail in the rain, using my ist-D and the cheap FA-J 18-35 zoom I borrowed from Bill Owens for the hike. The lens itself was large enough to block the flash from the lower part of the picture. I solved this problem by holding the camera upside-down :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
