Tastes like Velvia! and looks decidedly *not* like it was taken with flash (diffuser?) .. which is a good thing. 3 - don't like this one so much - apart from the glare, the light just looks very harsh - polariser may have helped? I'm bein' over-critical, only 'cause I know you can take it! If it stops raining here, I hope to get my camera out this weekend.

Your sharpness concerns will fall away, the Velviaish will be positively cheesy, and the spider will look a bit better, not much mind you, that sun is bright.

Yep, we are also still in the grips of a drought (aka "poorly managed water resources"), so I shouldn't complain. But they *promised* the rain would be gone this am, and I'm still getting wet... |
