My opinion, for what it's worth, is that the above says more about his darkroom skills than anything else. What attracted me to this set over many others was the detail, even in poxy little web images. They just seem to have better resolution and tone than the norm. The fact that the detail was there to be found in the first place is due to the format the pictures were taken on. I'm glad that, ultimately, his photgraphic picture-taking skills were able to be displayed to their full capacity. BTW, if anyone is having difficulties with the images due to adverts covering them, I found that clicking directly on the image thumbnail in the bottom right makes the ads go away. ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
