One big storm a couple of weeks ago allowed me to try the 400mm Telyt from inside our living room, looking at the balcony and the neighboring trees. The first one I guess is boring for most people, but I got *almost* the effect I wanted with an exposure of 1/2 sec. (Very heavy rain). http://gallery.leica-users.org/JGB-Leica-PAW-Project/PAW_20040815a The "almost" is that I would like the trajectories of the rebounding drops to show better. When I try to do it through "levels" in PS, the white of the parapet gets completely washed out. If someone knows how to get this image more effectively the next time it rains, I would appreciate the tip. The second may be an example of nice bokeh, or maybe not. Same storm, same lens. http://gallery.leica-users.org/JGB-Leica-PAW-Project/PAW_20040815b The following morning everything was wet-- this is a lonely leaf on a marble table at a restaurant in downtown Bethesda: http://gallery.leica-users.org/JGB-Leica-PAW-Project/PAW_20040822 Same roll, this time with the Super-Angulon 21mm at f:8. Comments and criticism are welcome. Thanks for looking. Juan
