You can see a sharp line of focus below across the brick face, on the legs, and on the leading edge of the wing. Amazing what parts are in and out of focus... It is isn't it :-) I've made another version that I'll post at some stage. This was a first attempt at a montage to increase DOF. As I said it was a grab shot, I saw this guy just sitting peacefully but unfortunately he was in the shade so a limited DOF was all that I could pull at the time. I shot off a series of images at slightly different subject distances (on the 5th he was off) and then blended them in PS, I went a little far with the back leg on this one though :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998

The whites are burnt out, unfortunately it was a grab shot as I mentioned, I used auto-exposure and even then I only got 5 shots in before it was off. (Damn I could have used that yet to be implemented saturation indication) Focus is another matter, I think I did fairly well in the circumstances, FL was 125mm, FD was about 450mm, Aperture was f3.5 therefore at an assumed COC of 0.02mm DOF would cover a meagre 1.3mm. Maybe I'll have better luck next time...

Burnt out whites, it isn't properly focused? but what's strange about the image? :-) http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/_igp0874m.jpg
