Just download and install it--it takes about 10 seconds in all, and it will appear at the bottom of the drop-down Filter menu. The commands for Glow 100 and all the presets appear in two sets. Adjust the top set and then you can fine tune with the bottom set of identical controls. They each do exactly the same thing. All is done by trial and error with Glow 100 and all the other presets as well. Here is a great way to experiment: When you open the preset and are about to preset the first slider, note the value. Then move it all the way to the right and see what it does. Then move it all the way to the left and see what it does all the while remembering the original value. The move the slider to taste and repeat all the way down with the various sliders. If you love the effect that you wind up with you can save it and give it a name for future use. If you do purchase please do remember to use our<a href="https://www.plimus.com/jsp/buynow.jsp?contractId=1720292&referrer=birdsasart" rel="nofollow"> link</a> :): Fractalius is compatible with CS-5.

In the original ABP, I recommended placing the hand atop the lens for increased sharpness. I pretty much never do that anymore, preferring to get my hand below the lens and push up with the forefinger and thumb of my left hand when working at shutter speeds that might be problematic, say under 1/250 second. The exact grip usually depends on the situation and the type of head that I am using. There are lots of examples in ABP II, the CD book, and I am pretty sure that you just ordered it so you should have it soon. Thanks Markus, The Great Blue Herons were Denise Ippolito’s.

That one and those in the bulletin look awesome, especially those of the Great Blue Herons. One questions about the image with you and the 5.6/800 in the Bulletin: After tightening the knob on the tripod head, did you rest your hand on the lens to increase sharpness? I read about this in several articles by other photographers incl. Moose Peterson (http://www.moosepeterson.com/techtips/longlens.html). Markus Great effects in the pelican shot.
