Re: OT PESO - Aussy Day Lightshow

Thanks Tim. If I corrected the distortion I would loose some of the firework & the ferris wheel. 2 elements that I wanted in the frame. The lighting showing up an added bonus. DS On 29 January 2012 07:13, Tim Bray wrote: > That's brilliant; could you correct the keyhole distortion without > rui

Oh I don't know, I reckon they mix quite well. I was sitting downwind from the fireworks and was more concerned about getting hit by a big chunk of exploded shell casing. DS On 29 January 2012 01:39, Bob Sullivan wrote: > Dave, > I can't imagine that fireworks and lightning mix real well. > Som

Great image and a wonderful catch with the lightning. I like the three types of lighting that you included across the image. Really effective and compelling. Dan Matyola http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/danieljmatyola On Sat, Jan 28, 2012 at 11:59 AM, David Savage wrote: > G'day All, > > As

Re: OT PESO - Aussy Day Lightshow
