Well, I finally found it! I had to blow the image up so the helmet is about 26 cm across on my monitor (almost life-sized) and I finally saw what you're looking at, at about 2 o'clock from the helmet. At that magnification, the white dot is about 1 mm in diameter. That is TINY! What amazes me is, the shutter speed was only 1/250 and even the front wheel label (?) BREMBO is perfectly readable ~ not blurred! Good shot! keith whaley -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
