Could it be because you were recently shipwrecked in shark-infested
waters? That would certainly give it an emotional impact for me!
This photo has emotinal impact on me on several levels. Kind of hard

I've had a few 30 x 40 prints made from images that reside in my
Smugmug galleries. I was satisfied with the prints and the packaging

Smugmug uses EZprints to do the work. If you don't have a Smugmug
account you can use EZprints directly at EZprints.com

It could be Tim.
Some one here has sent in a camera and offending lenses, to get

DPReview review of the original ist-D - it's amazing how similar in
design the two cameras are.
IMO they feel very different in the hand though.

Moonrise Over The Quad -
Christine,
There was a blazing sunbeam shining on the loom just
below the lower edge of the photo. This was as much
of it as I could include.
It is the sort of scene one would like to try shooting
at different times of day.

Thanks, Jack. I've checked it on 3 calibrated
monitors, and the brightness is where it should be.
The colors in the rags are rather drab in reality, and
I increased the saturation considerably in LR. Since

could boost things.

I vote for the full frame version. The square crop
Well, it would be better without the reflections, but
it's a nice, well-timed shot that is a definite
keeper.
I wonder how long it will take before someone invents
a digital polarizing filter for PS or Lightroom...

Too good to pass up, reflections or not. And in many ways, they add
to the poignancy of the scene. Excellent. A telling moment. Superior
work.

Well if you want you can join the Unused Macro Owners Club
consider mine as your very own unused lens.
I should join this club. I have four macro lenses, none of which I
use all that regularly. I use
the 200/4 the most, followed by the A100/2.8. Haven't used the 50/4
for years, and I
Right. Much more correct to say strap on a normal lens and go for
it. A K10D is fairly compact with a DA21 or FA43 on it.
