Hi list, ... t Just out of curiousity...do any of these looked dovtored to you? What do you think about the 747 passing the moon? I think with a focal lenght of about 1600mm equiv., one of the two should be out of focus...depth of field is very flat...or is it already hyperfocal at 35.000 feet?

If the boeing/moon is a double, it's well done. The light angle fits very well, and the plane is slightly blurred. But it seems almost too good to be true, though. Actually, I'm more suspicious about the authenticity northern pike picture. To my knowledge, the pike always takes its prey head

Primary use is for an on line portfolio. Secondary will be inkjet prints, although most of the prints (I hope) will be good ol' silver prints made directly from the negs. IAC, many of the final inkjet prints will have a subtle tone to them, like printing on Agfa Portriga Rapid. shel Mark
