I'm just steady and it was shot whilst I was seated :-) You can see on my left my blurry friend who happened to bend down to retrieve something from her bag just as I hit the shutter. Given that the seats were all linked was surprised at the sharpness myself. The focal plane was placed at the near waters edge so this gave me good sharpness in the B/G and a reasonable DOF in the F/G considering the wide aperture. I made a strip crop of the full res image so you can form a realistic appreciation of the DOF/Focus/shake across the image: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~audiob/temp/imgp1792crop.jpg I just set up my PDML PAW folder at Photo.net all my subsequent submissions: http://www.photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=377892 Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
