A fine photograph. Well done, but then you make them all look so simple to shoot, when in reality it's not easy to find the right composition and have the most effective light. As I've said before, "Damn yer good!" :-) ted ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Ted, Thank you for your kind comments. You are right about seeing the location before, I am a regular around those cedars. They are not common in these parts and I love their shape so they get shot a lot :-) Previous attempts are listed below. There are a a couple of Olympus shots in there, one of which (#9) was taken at the same time as the Leica shot. More controversially one of them was shot with a noctilux in full sun, it is my 'standard lens' on the M2 http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Easton_Maudit.html http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Easton_Maudit2.html http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Easton_Maudit3.html http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Easton_Maudit4.html http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Easton_Maudit5.html http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Easton_Maudit6.html http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Easton_Maudit7.html http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp2/Easton_Maudit_09.html Graham www.geebeephoto.com -- Whatever you Wanadoo: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/time/ This email has been checked for most known viruses - find out more at: http://www.wanadoo.co.uk/help/id/7098.htm
