It is big enough and bright enough for me. I think there is too much sky that has nothing in it. So I would crop it a bit differently. Take most of it off and go for a more square shot. With that kind of crop, I think it would be a pretty good photo. -- Bruce Wednesday, April 11, 2007,

Thanks for the note on the FA-J 70-300! I have two questions: 1. I want to buy a bag pack, which can hold my K10D, + 3 lenses including, Pentax 70-300mm, an external flash, tripod and laptop. Which bag pack do you suggest? If you are thinking a backpack style bag, the Lowepro CompuTrekker

It seems Pentax is/was/will be bit that much interested into a merger but Urano was. It's not clear at all (yet) if Pentax (its shareholders) are really interested in a merger or if Urano's proposal was well why not after all. 2007/4/12, Tom C [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Why would it make it suspect?

Hello Jens, Kids and sports - tricky to shoot well. I like the 'pose' you captured of them. What I struggle with is feeling like they are in a game, rather than a practice. What contributes to that is the great DOF allowing me to very clearly make out other fields and goals. I would still

I think that's definitely a stronger photo. The square crop suits it well, the larger size and tonal edits make it more than the prior rendering. Good job! G On Apr 12, 2007, at 1:31 PM, Russell Kerstetter wrote: Thanks Bill, Jack, Godders, Rick Markus, PJ and Bruce for your input.
