Thanks for everyone who commented on this shot and hypothesized on the effects shown. I don't think the flare speculation works: There was no direct light on the lens or even the subject - it was really soft, indirect lighting. One thing I noticed after looking at my shots taken with the same equipment that don't show this effect is that they were all taken at much smaller apertures. This shot was taken at f/4.0, which is only one stop down from wide open with this lens, so I'm pretty sure the wide aperture contributed to the effect. Whatever. I'm going to make a mental note of it to keep in my bag of tricks. I'm glad it transformed what could have been just another boring flower shot into something a little more interesting. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
