Hi Lasse, Thanks for taking the time to comment on my image. On my failed attempts, the sky is always the problem, as it is not often around here we get a blue sky with white clouds, it`s usually a gray or hazy sky. I think the solution would be black and white film. I found a good architectural shot after I already submitted this image, with a great sky (Las Vegas), oh well. Back to the submitted image, it would have been nice if the round light in the middle of the image was not burnt to a crisp, but it was a trade off (as is everything photographic) ;), because it is a clock. I guess if I wanted the clock to show up I could have put a rheostat or resistor in that bulb circuit. The Super-Multi-Coated Takumar (very early version) 50mm f1.4 was set at 1.4, that lens will go with me to the grave, as I still can`t believe how sharp it is wide open, not to mention color rendition. I believe it was a 1/4 sec exposure with 100 speed film. Sorry I didn`t respond sooner, been busy in the yard with sprinklers, anyone want to come over and help dig? :) Thanks, Steve Larson Redondo Beach, California - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
