Thanks a bunch guys. For speedy and constructive comments. Let me reply to the most important first. O. D. is my colleague, not my college. What I do for metering? Errrh. Does chimp count as metering ;-) What I do, is to chimp with histogram on. I'll most likely by a proper meter soon, but for the time being I must settle with the histogram. There so many other important tools I need. But I do need to be better at using the histogram. I've lost a few shots because I didn't pay enough attention to the exposure. With light background I'm usually OK, but I tend to misread the histogram, when I'm using the black background. In the last one, I had to settle with this odd crop. At least for the time being. The reason is that I had the light stand in the frame. Stupid mistake. I could clone it out, but didn't have time to do it properly. -- MaritimTim http://maritimtim.blogspot.com/ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
