Thanks. Well -- check the edges of the frame, always. Use your light meter; use a spot meter. And, quite possibly, use a polarizing filter to darken/saturate the blue sky (at certain angles). In some cases, a graduated neutral-density filter is necessary (requires a linear horizon somewhere in the picture). -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:dd-b@xxxxxxxx>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://noguns-nomoney.com/> <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://dd-b.lighthunters.net/> <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/>
