I drove Skyline (hwy 35) home from SF tonight. The moon hadn't risen, the sky was clear, and I wanted to play with my astrotracer. It is going to take some learning, and a fair amount of work, to get full performance out of it. It's a very clever hack, but a bit of pixel peeping quickly shows

Re: PESO - Rebirth

Thanks Paul. "Emerging from the womb", thats exactly what I was trying to achieve. I also see the opening as a flame of a candle. Light is hope ... This was a tough exposure to nail. I'm pretty sure I could not have made this shot without the dynamic range of the K-5. -- MaritimTim My private p

Re: My Chevy for the Times

Thanks much, Ken. Although I've shot in a lot of places and seen much of Detroit's inner workings, it was still a huge thrill to shoot at the Design Center in the shadow of Eero Saarinen's creations. Paul On Oct 21, 2011, at 11:59 PM, Ken Waller wrote: > Nice work as usual Paul. > > Kenneth Wal
