Thanks Paul, Stan and Daniel for liking my picture this month.
It wasn't the picture I wanted, but it was the picture I got. I had wanted to be on the other side of the building and do a hopefully not too cliched sunset shot.
Unfortunately, there had been a whole bunch of rain in the few days prior, and when I drove onto what passes as an approach road (read dirt path), my truck bogged down and started to sink. Deciding that discretion is the better part of valor, I backed out before the truck got totally swallowed and drove back to the highway to hopefully find a view that worked.
I hadn't taken my really long lens kit with me, as my intended picture would have required a wide angle. Consequently, even the 70-210 was really too short, as the structure is quite far off the highway. I could probably have used my 600mm lens for that picture.
Being the dumb dumb that I am, I left the back door of the truck ajar while shooting the picture, and the cab filled up with mosquitoes, so I spent the hour and a quarter drive home fending off the little bloodsuckers..
When I opened the file in Camera Raw, I processed it using the new Enhance tool, taking the file up to 144mp and then did a fairly deep crop.
I think, all things considered, that it worked out fairly well. thanks again bill -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
