Ahh-choo!!
Really well caught, I wouldn't have a clue about how to get a shot like this!

This is masterly captured John.
Not simply an accident shot.

Hi John,
Cracking shot. Makes me want to sneeze!! Not bad considering it's 33 years old.

Hi John
It's certainly easier today to get really good results, but this image illustrates if you got it right on film it stands up well to todays digital images!

Just like to point out that this image was produced with a home made slide copier with the 50 mm sigma and three no2 close up lenses. ( And part of a toilet roll holder )
CA reduced in Bibble.
Its all I can afford but it does me. This picture has been published many times and even some of the ones I copied like this..
Makes you think.
