Kevin, Thanks for your PUG comments and kind words. Since you mentioned bracketing, I did bracket at half stops. (thanks Pentax for the user-friendly exposure compensation control.) The shot I submitted is the lightest. The other two shots are dark and darker still. The darker ones bring out more detail and color in the sky, but the heather in the foreground looses detail and color. The thing I learned from this situation is to invest in sliding ND grad 1 and 2 stop filters. In outdoor photography you often have to deal with the limited latitude of slide film. That is one reason I used provia, rather than velvia in this particular shot. Spot meter was also invaluable here. Harald Rust
