You are indeed right, I closed my aperture as much as possible to get a maximum depth of focus, so that I could see through the arch, getting the statue nice and sharp and the overlaying arches as well. It wasn't a sunny day, so I had to be really careful and concentrate to get it right.<BR/>And you cannot see on the camera's monitor if you get this kind of thing right, you have to wait until you can look at the end result on your PC. So I'm indeed very happy with that photo, it turned out exactly as I wanted it.pieterbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410340506959326985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-47254011837721502992007-06-04T00:07:00.000-04:002007-06-04T00:07:00.000-04:00I envy you somehow.

I loved it. <BR/><BR/>You are indeed lucky to have that park near your home. The last time I was in a park and walking by myself was three years ago when I was pregnant with Faith. I was in Penang, Malaysia, at the botanical garden and we were doing an activity. I loved it anyway, despite the heat and my aching back. Sadly, there aren't any parks near where I live.Menchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474186474395126654noreply@blogger.com
