One time Bokeh is NOT called for, fersure. A cool thing to do if you use Photoshop is to take a shot in the daytime exposing for any stained glass windows, and leave the camera on a tripod in the same possition, and go back and shoot the same shot at night with all the lights on. Then you can put the stained glass in the well-lighted interior. You can adjust for the different color balances that the mixed lighting would have produced. Just be careful, I once had a Minolta CLE stolen in my church. You don't want to tempt any sinners that happen through.... Regards, SonC - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard W.
