Thanks. As you can see in the photos at the end of the set, it's a freeway underpass that has been strung with colored lights (or lights of color for the politically correct). While I started out shooting at about 1 second, I found out that it worked best to just put the camera on bulb and while I rotated the camera clockwise during the exposure, I rotated the zoom ring on the 16-50 counter clockwise. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- 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.
