Good point. Another thing you could try doing is holding something black on one side of the piece where you would "see it in the reflection". Aluminum tends to take on the color of the light, so if one side is darker, then the aluminum will look darker. Just don't shoot it all in the dark. > > Frankly, I think you may be a little over-critical on yourself on this > one.

My first reaction when I saw it was that it looked fine to me. I would say that it is worth spending a little time experimenting to see how different things affect it, but this looks fine to me as it is. I'd love to see the results of the experimentation. > > -- > 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. -- 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.
