All of your observations are pretty much dead-on, Darren. That particular "magenta-cast" one... you might like to see what the original shot looked like before I started working on it: http://charles.robinsontwins.org/photos/2012/IMGP8281.jpg So it's BETTER now, but maybe not perfect. Ah well! The one image of the drummer with the microphone right in his forehead... that's a full-frame shot, so I couldn't do anything about the framing without swapping lenses. Unfortunately, the angle I had (seated center in front) was not changeable as the chairs were pushed RIGHT UP next to the stage so I really had no room to move left/right. I took what I had... I appreciate the comments, though! -Charles -- Charles Robinson - [email protected] Minneapolis, MN http://charles.robinsontwins.org http://www.facebook.com/charles.robinson -- 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.
