Yep, it is a bit soft in the focus department. Excuse (long winded)... 1) I was using my Coolpix "snapshot" camera, I find harder to focus properly, particularly in challenging light conditions, than my *istDL. 2) I haven't used that camera for ages and I have forgotten how to set it up properly. 3) The sunrise caught me by suprise and I only had a couple of minutes to get a shot. That sounds weird BUT here the most dramatic scenes are almost always just prior to sunrise. This was 15-20 minutes later when the colours have usually faded. I actually watched the sunrise, had turned and was walking away when I happened to glance over my shoulder and see what was going on. I hurriedly got a few shots before the sun went up and disappeared behind the clouds. It was the unusual conjunction of sun position, clouds and smoke haze that made the shot. That's my excuse: better a slightly soft photo than none. Keith McG -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
