'Netter'? Isn't that an old Zeiss Ikon? Oh, wait, that's 'Nettar' Whatever the camera, an excellent shot. You seemed to have nailed the focal point well giving a nicely blurred background and foreground. Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney

Err, better ones.:-) Thanks Brian. I think it was at F2.8 or 3.5, not much more than that. I focused on the peanut and shot when he grabed it. Dave On 8/30/07, Brian Walters [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 'Netter'? Isn't that an old Zeiss Ikon? Oh, wait, that's 'Nettar' Whatever the camera,

You got a good shot of it - even with that camera. The bokeh in this case is not too exciting. I have seen some lenses look a little odd with some backgrounds and then look just fine with others. I don't know if that is the case with this particular lens or not. -- Best regards, Bruce

Nice shot. The expression on the bird reminds me of the scene in Jurassic Park 3, where camera follows the fight down the river and then the focus changes to the Pterodactyl in the foreground as it turns around and sees the main character. dk On 7/18/07, David J Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
