    That f/32 shot obliterated the skyline. I might attribute that to diffraction through the tight aperture ... also a longer shutter may have helped a skosh!

    Thanks for the shot attempts, Frank. Gives me a lot to consider. In the meantime, f/8 your way to happiness.

    Should I stay with the f/8 for those type of shots?

    I thought their might be a chance to improve the contrast on the skyline, but that just doesn't happen as you can see. At f/32 ... you actually LOST detail. Diffraction is a weird effect ... and that effect is easily seen in these images.

    Thanks for the effort, Frank ... you may get different results as the weather improves and the direct sun shines. Until then ... no point in darkening things any more than you have to.

    IT was real sunny but hazy. I knew I wouldn't be able to get the shot for the next few days.
