Not quite as entertaining as the earlier shots, but it says a little bit about the Zenitar Fisheye wide open. Not bad for a $160 lens (IIRC). Fisheye effect is lost a bit on the *ist D, but still my widest lens. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo.tcl?photo_id=3720670 Tom C.

Re: GESO - September 11 Aurora

Thanks Jostein, Paul, Boris. Enjoyed the Oslo shot. It always amazes me how the aurora appears totally mixed up as in your shot, with circles intersected by vertical shafts. This week holds promise of more to come, though last night was a dud. Tom C. From: Jostein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Re

Thanks for those neat pics

Re: GESO - September 11 Aurora

Hi Bruce, Thanks. We're around 43 degrees. Roughly same latitude as Milwaukee. Really not that far north when it comes to aurora seeing. We just have very dark skies, so when there is something going on with the sun, we have a decent chance of seeing it. Tom C. From: Bruce Dayton <[E

Wow! That's far more complex than using colorsynch workflow. I merely go to page setup to select paper size and positiong, then choose my paper in the print dialogue box and dial in the desired resolution and color management. Having done that once, however, I can save the paper with the resolut

Re: Colour profiles-PS-and home prining

While we're on the subject of computers, my ageing-but-venerable Blue and White G3 Powermac will shortly be retiring, after some 3 years of service. I bought it used, so it's now 5 years old. All I did to it was flip a dip switch on the CPU to bump it up from 400 to 450 Mhz and cram in an extra har
