Thanks - shot this with my trusty Canon EOS 5 (film camera) with Fuji Velvia 100F transparency film. Camera was on a tripod pointing out of my bedroom window with a 70-300 lens and spot metered the sky. I can see what you mean about the PW - if only I had one back then!Used to get a real kick out of shooting with transparency - there was very little margin for error as 1. You couldn't see what the shot was like after you took it 2. It cost about $20 for the film and processing for 36 exposures, so you made every shot count! 3. The exposure latitude was so narrow that you had to get the exposure dead on. The gradient in the sky was natural (no photoshopping the sky here!) and the pink that you see was due to the reciprocity failure of the film due to the long exposure: different colours lose sensitivity at different rates.This shot makes me want to go out and shoot a roll of Velvia again if it wasn't so expensive.I think this shot really shows what you can do with consumer equipment and good technique - a mid range film camera with a consumer zoom and a roll of great film.

Dude! That's a sweet ass gradient you've got going on there. The only thing that would make that better is if you planned that doorway with a pocketwizard'd strobe.
