| Notes |
This is going to be catalogued as my first image taken from 3RF. It was this image that introduced "walking noise" to my learning curve. Scott Rosen was nice enough to critique this image for me and explained the need for dithering. Believe it or not, this image looks really good printed on metallic paper. For the heat, bad seeing and noise level that this image contains, it's not terrible by any means. |
