Big thanks, Chris, Derby, Paul, & John. Your kind remarks are much
appreciated. The guy doesn't really strike me as military, but you guys
could be right. I might try the dodge, Paul, but it looks like it could be
tricky. My patience for detailed work like that is about nil these days.
:-). Derby, look for me off-list. Cheers, Christine

From Christine Aguila
Hi Everyone: In early Oct, my husband & I took a drive down Rush St.;
I
hadn't been there for years. I tended bar on Rush st. for several
years at
a place called The Hangge Uppe, and it's still there, though much has
changed on the street. Anyway, I took this pic--a real drive-by,
though I
was stopped at a stop sign. The original pic is a mess--at 2500 ISO
it's
grainier than an Iowa silo, and it has enough of those pink & blue
artifacts
to give a digital archeologist an orgasm. I think those 3 lights in
the
background biased the metering causing the original pic to
underexpose--hence the grain/artifact issue when trying to brighten it
up.
Since Oct, I've been rendering the heck out of it, and tonight I think
I've
finally settled on this rendering. Interestingly though, just now I
printed
this pic on some Illford Gold Fiber Silk, 8 1/2 x 11, and it looks A
LOT
less grainer than this digital version.

Comments welcome.

Stunning stuff Christine and, whatever the issues with the original,
you've
done a great job of rendering it. As Derby says, it's a worthy PDML annual
candidate.
Chris
