Lovely to "travel" with you on this beautiful HK day ;-) The images also confirm something I have been thinking for some time. Why own a wide when you have panos in PS? I've forgotten which PS I'm up to, but the panos I've been doing work so well that I've even stopped worrying about using manual exposure to ensure the panes are all exposed similarly. This subject will be form part of a big rave I'm thinking of inflicting on the LUG in the near future ;-) Cheers Alastair > Hi Luggers, > This morning we took the slow ferry with the open back deck (great for > photos) from Central to Mui Wo on Lantau Island to visit a friend's > shop and have lunch at the Turkish restaurant.
