wonderful image rrox! makes me want to see what other pictures you might have gotten from this...
I don't think I have anything undereath the lamplight.
Peter .. Our brief visit (with a tour group) to the festival was a highlight while "doing" the Trans Siberian rail journey from Beijing through Ulanbataar to Moscow in July/August '08 .
Felicity and I have been blessed with opportunities for more than the average amount of travel; for most of it, with Felicity's help I have carted an SLR and associated paraphernalia along, which has sometimes almost become co-respondent in a divorce case!
For this trip I decided to leave that artillery behind and bought a Panasonic TZ15 compact specifically for the trip. It served me very well, up to my expectations.
The only place I really missed my slr was at this festival; I would have loved access to my 100-400 zoom and monopod. You can see the place was crowded and our group were seated some distance from the action.
I'll get a few pix on to my carbonmade site (still a beginner there, it may take a little while) and let you know when to look. You'll see from that some of the shots that "might have been". You might even be tempted to go there yourself!
BTW.... why don't you switch a lamp on? Richard R

Image #69 is a good response to upside down well done Jack!
LOL - if the shot was upside down - that would place the dashboard at the top of the picture ... hate to think what I'd be doing with the aircraft to get it in that situation, but I bet it wouldn't be legal!
The good-looking bloke must be the one on the left - but I'm the one in the flight gear on the right!

You need the virtual retrospective polariser (or VRP) for that Richard
I'm sure someone sells a plug in for it
Being serious though, the only thing I can think to do now is select each different reflaction into a new layer and reset the black point (and possibly white too) of 'what lies beneath' so it's as if it wasn't reflected over. Sounds labour intensive though.

Re #77
Looks a nice warm dish of Festive fare, Jim. I can't work out whether it's savoury or sweet?
My fair lady might be interested in the recipe (not that I want to start a cooking forum!)

Roxy,
Actually , it's a cold dish. My wife is Lebanese and the dish is called Kibbee.It's raw lamb,cracked wheat,red peppers,onions and spices(Cumin & Cinnamon).It also can be baked or fried( looks like a hamburger when fried).
Eating raw meat is considered dangerous to most in the American culture,but my wife's people have been eating this for generations with no problems.
Raw lamb,I would say,is not a dish you aquire a taste for.I happened to like it the 1st time I ate it.It's pretty healthy food.All the fat is taken off the lamb and the amount of wheat used almost doubles the volume of the dish.It's traditionally eaten with a salad dressed with olive oil and lemon juice and flat bread(made with flour,yeast and water).Very little fat in the dinner.
Regards,
Jim
