Jeff's a David, I was afraid PS would be the only solution. I was thinking of Jeff's beautiful water fountain picture that looked like an object suspended in light and hoping I could get that effect. It might be interesting to find light and movement effects unique to P&S digicams. I got a kind of weird, streaky effect (bubbles) shooting through a fish tank. Knowing there are endless PS plug-in effects kind of makes in-camera "creativity" rather academic. Then again, having an in-camera trick or two in my pocket to use when the inspiration strikes would be cool. AZ Build a 120/35mm Lookaround! The Lookaround Book.
