I really need to take the time to come up with a better format for showing pictures. Tag1 and tag2 really are horizontals. (Although tag2 has become more square-like by cropping out the ump's butt. :) Click on the thumbnail to see the entire image. I thought by having my thumbnails always be verticals, the thumbnail page would be cleaner and less messy. Here are the links to the ones you mentioned: http://canid.com/pics/pete_baseball_hr1.jpg http://canid.com/pics/pete_baseball_hr2.jpg http://canid.com/pics/pete_baseball_tag1.jpg http://canid.com/pics/pete_baseball_tag2.jpg Those are my favorites, too. Especially hr2 and tag2. I go back and forth on tag2. On the one hand, I really wish I had been back further or had a wider lens mounted so I could have shown the ump's call. On the other, I kind of like the viewer not really knowing. I also like: http://canid.com/pics/pete_baseball_hr8.jpg But I think that's mainly because it shows the end result of the home run hit and not because of its stellar photographic properties. :) That's why I'm not sure about the tag series, either. That out ended the inning and helped preserve the win. Eric - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
