Fortunately, when consumed with the right beer the calories magically disappear. Something about balanced food-group karma. My leaning lighthouse is due to the low angle view with the 28. It is possible to do some perspective shifting in PS but I rather like the effect. Trying for some drama and interest in the viewpoints. Now I REALLY want a 24. Cheers Hoppy -----Original Message----- Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: last series Hoppy on Kangaroo Island Hi Hoppy, Wonderful food photos. To me it looks a little heavy for lunch. Actually it's a little heavy for any meal. How many kids does it take to roll a Hoppy out of a restaurant? 8-) My favorite photo of this group is the "last of light" lighthouse photo. I also like your leaning lighthouse picture. Neat. Is this a little of your 28mm trickery? Thanks for sharing.
