Yeah I did think about selecting just the window area... maybe some day I'll give it a try. Or perhaps convince the wife to let me go back for a re-shoot. Our city actually has a link to the Melbourne Cup, which I only learned about a few weeks ago. From our library website: The definition used by Christchurch City Council to determine the date of Canterbury Anniversary Day each year is “second Friday after the first Tuesday of November (i.e. Show Day will be two weeks after the first Tuesday in November — on a Friday, mainly so that it does not clash with the Melbourne Cup Racing Carnival)”. -- 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.
