Not only wasn't it the Noctilux (which I didn't say it was I'm sure but I've been wrong before) it wasn't the Summilux ASPH either. It was the 19 Elmarit. Oops. I had to check my negatives and see it was with the R8 before I remember which lens it was. The "keystoning" in the background should have tipped me off. Not to mention the way the near-far relationships work in this picture. The light on the assistant herself was flourescent. The background light was incandescent. With photoshop, I scanned it in with her sweater "white clicked" (part of the scanner softare). It brought the color of the background in as quite yellow. With some work in Photoshop I got it to look pretty much like it did to the eye, except the background is a bit warm. No flash. Fujicolor HG 400. f/4.5 at 1/15 so that her hand would blur as she applies the sealent to the wood. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch When there's a will, I want to be in it.
