Was it really taken with 35mm equip.? > Max, The shot was taken in Spain by Luis Casteneda of Miami with an R8 and the new 70-180 f/2.8 zoom. Handheld on Fuji provia, I believe, processed on his Jobo. He also shot the photo of tree in canyon (35-70 f/3.5) and the white houses in Portugal (70-180). Luis is with The Image Bank and has pix from about 70 countries. He is also doing lots of work with Hasselblad and has had images recently in their magazine. He is a quality fanatic. Seeing his stuff projected with Leica projectors when he was here n San Diego was a mind blowing experience about just what kind of quality is possible with 35mm. donal Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
