Notice that I actually overexposed and underdeveloped to decrease the contrast. Over here, outdoors, the contrast range goes easily to 5 stops or more. Northern skyes, with low clouds and filtered light might suit perfectly ISO 200. As always, it depends. :) Saludos ----------------------------------------- http://imaginarymagnitude.net/blog/
