I haven't done much processing, just a hand held vertical movement during the exposure. You can see how the camera was moved in the thin light lines were the sky is visible through the leaves. I have increased the saturation, but not much more than you get with Ektachrome 100VS (or with Cibachrome), and removed a couple of light spots at the top where the sky was a little distracting. So, just go out and play and try it yourself. It is never too dark to take pictures without a tripod, it is only too dark to make the sharp .-) DagT ============== It reminds me of the sort of things that Freeman Patterson (Photography & The Art of Seeing) recommends doing to free up one's visual perception and loosen one's approach to photography. Also similar to Drawing on The Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards -- drawing upside down to free up one's approach and see composition in a new way. (Which makes me wonder if Ansel Adams, using LF, was always composing upside down.) Despite reading the Patterson book, I've never tried jiggling. Based on how nice your Autumn is, one of these days I should. Marnie aka Doe
