Bracket? Oh sure. I start with one hour and then go -2, -1, +1, +2 stops. Works only in winter because in summer the sun rises again during the last one. :-)) No, seriously, its the result of trial and error from a number of years. Besides, you can't do much wrong. Simply stay on the more generous side. > Could you show an example of a failed shot with a Pentax or other DSLR? For the analog 35 mm version taken with the 15 mm lens, just imagine this one in colour looking as if an armada of UFO's was attacking. Add horribily burned highlights and you have the digital version. I'll dig one out if you really want to see it. This place is contrast hell. Ralf -- Ralf R.
