But even then it wouldn't be that bad. Oh, and it was a digital shot. I know - Tina has used her 1DSmkII to take a pic of a projected slide, one she bought at the airport gift-shop on the way home. What we're seeing is slide popping. :-D Fess up Tina! ha. :-) Great shot. Hopefully you can figure out what's going on with the funky curvature. Regards, Rick.
