[Leica] IMG: Afghanistan Happenings

[hewthompson at mac.com (Hugh Thompson)]

Bob - yes, I am aware.  These were done with a Sony DSC-S950 P&S, and  
were taken on different days, the "garbage" one was overcast, and is  
about right I think.  The "blast" one was a, see it, catch it, shot,  
into the sun, and I did not even try to improve it, this was recorded  
the way it was, just after the bomb blew up.

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hugh
