Thank you for feeling sorry, but there's no need to be, and of course I appreciate the honesty. I think at the time I was awestruck with the colours and wanted to capture it. I was glad to be able to use the extra real estate of the car window's reflection for more red. (I also have a continuing fascination with capturing reflections.) I went to ISO 1600 to quell blur, but I think it was wasted effort, as we were going at "a little over" the highway speed limit. Hard to say. Since I rested the camera on my hand and the hand on the vibrating car, it could also be that I made the blur myself. My first reaction on seeing it on the big screen was to ask my husband which filter in photoshop elements he had run it through, because the scene didn't look real. --s -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
