mnealtx 0 #5 March 3, 2006 Quoteyou need to crop out the dark line on the bottom of the pic, otherwise very nice Hiya Squeak - I thought about that, but at the point that I'd already spent over an hour messing with the masks and all for the frame, and I just wasn't up to repeating all of it after cropping the top of that hill out. I'll definitely keep it in mind for the next shot, though!Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #7 March 3, 2006 It's the only real terrain feature here in the vicinity of Camp Bondsteel... everything else is rolling hills... The mountain and sunrise/sunset shots are the majority of my photos right now - hopefully later in the Spring I'll be able to get off-base a bit more and get some other landscape shots. I got some more nice shots of the mountain today at lunch - no clouds and nice light. We'll see how they come out.Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim.

likvidskaj 0 #20 March 3, 2006 That mountain is in Macedonia (so called Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) and is named after late Josip Broz Tito, a long-time president of Yugoslavia. Funny how it still bears his name. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
