I agree, Paul. Which reminds me: The day after the Norcal PDML gathering in San Francisco is the Alfa Romeo Association's annual "All Italian Day" event in Alameda. There will be a ton of beautiful Italian cars and motorcycles, typically a bunch of good people, good food and fun, to photogr

Hi Rob ... I'll try with the t'pod tomorrow and use a smaller aperture. Never thought about focus bracketing. Not a bad idea ;-)) You knew I'd been thinking about a DSLR for a while and that it was just a matter of time before I'd get one. My little Sony had a tripod mishap, and the price on t

I'm using this car for a while and decided a little snap was in order. I used the 77mm lens on the DS, and found the perspective pleasing. However, the sharpness of the license plate and deck emblem leaves something to be desired. I'm hoping someone (perhaps Paul) can offer a suggestion as to wh
