Thanks, Stan. I appreciate the comments about wide angle shooting. Very often the scene itself is the subject for me, which is why I find myself wanting a wider field of view. And as Christine says, if by chance something in the scene is the subject, and that’s the lens I’ve got on—I have only one camera—I crop. Especially when there’s good light and I’m using a low ISO. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA [email protected] “...we are a form of invitation to others and to otherness..." - David Whyte -- 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.
