@kawwauser, thanks for the detailed focal lengths, its kind of sad to confirm that 300 an onwards is the ideal length for such ventures 
. Thanks again.
@Flores, are you into training birds of Prey? That owl has the legs with the usual straps for that. I'd be interested in knowing more of it. Thanks.
@legacymobilestudio, precisely reading that link is that I finaly was able to understand what good could make to use the focusing separate from the shutter speed. I now almost exclusively shoot like that... its a great link!
@Marubozo, I find that image absolutely beautiful... the moon and its subtle glow, perfectly postitioned together with the red clouds make for a very suthing image! Beautifully done!
@trulie, another nice shot of the bleak winter... the compelte devotion of color is always as lonely as it is cold, and having an empty chair doubles on the idea. Great.
@Frank... are you shooting in RAW? Overexposed skin very rarely is able to be darkened and the correct skin color kept... its one of those terrible things... overexposed skin turns gray when dialed down instead of the pinkish - greened it should have. I am affraid that those are beyond repair 
.
@lostpacket, great perspective on such an interesting building. Certainly the Architectural pictures of this thread have some great exponents here.
@MikeFairbanks, great to hear your camera meats and excedes your expectations! Now, its time to share those images with us!
Rafa.
