    Really like the moss in the larger context in #10. thumb.gif How'd you do the effect in #38? Some really nice shots in there. #91's a beaut, great light. My lord, you did shoot a lot!

    Tks sid...#38 ..well i was with our pro photog (his name was mark wasnt it?) when he sort of screwed up his face at the avail light for landscapes & said "i'll show you what to do when it gets a bit dull & boring" He slows the shutter down to half sec or so ...closes in on something at full zoom & as the shutter opens, he winds the zoom back.

    Sam & i tried it for half an hour & that was the best i could hand held 0.4 second whilst winding the zoom...Talk about hard to do !

    Gus,

    You just blew me away with that gallery of yours! thumb.gif Wonderful variety of views from bifs and reflections, to landscapes that you have a wonderful eye for. There are some captures there, that are uniquely beautiful from the others that I've seen. Wonderful memories too, to look back upon. clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

    My wife got hooked and kept asking for another ... like lenses I guess...

    I will be the first to admit her addiction to kids is marvelous. You think she'll say the same about lenses? ne_nau.gif

    Cool, thanks. Man, handheld, long exposure and cranking back the zoom? Phew!
