Rick, I really like the point of view but: * The building seems to have a bluish cast on its top part... * It does not seem sufficiently sharp given that you probably were shooting at infinity with well stopped down lens...

That's what cropping is for :) That reminds me, I must start looking into making a calendar while there's enough time before the end of the year.

RE: PESO: City Hall where I work
N! You see, I'm only doing the pphotographing. I'm not, making the screensaver. Some pro's are. They will lay out the whole buch very artistically and probably show more that one photograph at the time. But you are right - if I was going to make a slide show or PowerPoint presentation, I would prefere the landscape format.

RE: PESO: City Hall where I work
Thanks Markus. I don't know. I have seen many kinds of screensavers. A bacground shot may not be changing as often as the foreground picture(s). There can be added text and other effects. I'm quite confident, that these guys can do a great job (if the photos are reasonably interesting), no mater what the picture formats are. I know that they have access to quite advanced software, that can really do almost anything. It not a slide show. Whenever I make a slide show, I'll use landscape formats only.

RE PESO: City Hall where I work
You're right, Boris. But it's not as sharp as I'd like it to be. I stick to f8-f16. An I sharpen at 126 ! It's hard to judge my the jpeg's. I must do some serious RAW shots one of these days :-) But the 18mm wideangle is so nice in situations like this :-) I must get myself a Sigma F.2.8/18-50mm or perhaps a Pentax 16-45mm. Or even better: A F.2.8/16-60mm (equal to 24-90mm) - prefereably for less than 500 USD :-)) Does such a lens exist?

I don't know how much sharpening is at 126 but please explain what you mean. My solution was to buy a prime lens, Sigma 18/3.5 PAWs of which you saw. I am yet to make large prints from this lens, but it looks reasonable. And as a prime it still has less glass elements in it, so it is quite good. I suppose I'd be taking it with me to London trip as a wide angle. We'll see how it fares... Boris
