It would be interesting to use a polarizer here as well as a tripod (may bring the residents out for a chat). The murkiness and reflections are very much part of the display. It's actually difficult to see the uniform (basically dark navy blue fabric) when actually walking around the display. Not my style to "put" a child into a situation (unless it were a commercial gig - I probably should be "putting a lot more situations" together to satisfy the lifestyle stock - just can't bring myself to do it) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On May 28, 2009, at 12:21 PM, Bob Adler wrote: > Quite a tribute! > Have you tried going back in more subdued light?
