RE: PESO: railway crossing
Hi Ralf I looked up the camera and found pictures on a ebay sale. This is indeed an impressive and nice one. Could you explain how you measure the exposure time in such a shot? Is it based pure on experience or do you bracket or do you have some other secret ;-) Could you show an example of a failed shot with a Pentax or other DSLR? thanks and greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ralf R.

Oh sure. I start with one hour and then go -2, -1, +1, +2 stops. Works only in winter because in summer the sun rises again during the last one. :-)) No, seriously, its the result of trial and error from a number of years. Besides, you can't do much wrong. Simply stay on the more generous side. Could you show an example of a failed shot with a Pentax or other DSLR? For the analog 35 mm version taken with the 15 mm lens, just imagine this one in colour looking as if an armada of UFO's was attacking. Add horribily burned highlights and you have the digital version. I'll dig one out if you really want to see it. This place is contrast hell. Ralf -- Ralf R.

The quality is impeccable and really pull you into the subject at hand. Thanks. :-) But, I have one question. Why are you seemingly stuck on industrial type work? Is that your field of work or interest? I simply like the kind of landscape and the large plants, especially steel mills and coking plants. Somehow they appear like big old dragons with all the fire, smoke, and fumes. Definitely something organic about them. In a few years time, most of this will have disappeared from Western Europe and the generations coming after us will only have our photos to see what it's been like. Ralf -- Ralf R.
