This 180 shot was one of those "why didn't I bring the ladder and big tripod?" moments. I had the "usual" medium gitzo with me and it and my tip toes wouldn't give me the extra couple inchs to avoid the out of focus steps at the very bottom of the frame ;~( depending on ultimate budget I may return to get that shot exactly right. also one of those "the 180 summicron would seal this deal" shots ;~) Regards, George Lottermoser george at imagist.com http://www.imagist.com http://www.imagist.com/blog http://www.linkedin.com/in/imagist On Jul 30, 2009, at 1:21 PM, Roger Hart wrote: > George, > > Personally, I really like this shot.
