Very nice. It takes skill to make a photo of a brick wall look this good. In any sort of challenging light, I also bracket my shots in case I ever do HDR. I usually bracket by 1.3 stops. I expect that when I start trying HDR, I'll find that I bracketed them all the wrong range. -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from i4est -- 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.
