Yup Leo ... those 18" mamas had just fired!
I had taken a bunch of screens. I was looking to see how well 1.2 did with forced AA and AF. I was fascinated how the swirl of the smoke had been rendered and clicked off a few more. When I saw the shots in FRAPS I said "My God ... what the hell are those dudes 'still' doing there?!" :rotfl:
I really like the swirling smoke in the shot though. The play of light and shadow in the smoke and the left over flash to the right ... the gray tones offset by the crimson in the flag ... well, it's kind like ROW .... atmospheric!
