By the lights I mean the LEDs.

A couple of ideas that may work. If your camera is able to do double exposures, take one exposed for the lights then add a second with the light off to get the case. Or try turning the lights off part way through the exposure.

I too would like to see something on AM. It seems to be a great all around program for a bargin price. I think that if a few people started posting on it that it would soon grow. the F.O.G.

I haven't tried this my self but here goes. :-) "To find these render options click on the triangle next to the render control. To create depth of field using Photoshop. 1.Render the scene normaly using the perpective render mode. 2.Save the image in a convenient location. 3.Render the scene again, this time using distance mask render mode. 4.Save the image to the same location. 5.Open perspective render and the distance render images in Photoshop. 6.Place the distance render image into the alpha channel of the perspective image. 7.Load the alpha channel as a selection. 8.Apply gaussian blur. Objects close to you will appear sharp while object farther away will become progressively more out of focus. You can also invert the selection and apply motion blur to the image. In this case the forground would be motion blured and the back ground would be sharp as if you were taking a picture from a moving car. You could determine very specifically which objects in your scene are in focus and which are not. Select the distance render alph channel and remap the gray values in curves dialog in Photoshop, Remap black input to kighter output, and the gray value of the desired focal object to black." Taken from the Bryce5 manual but I think it will work with Bryce four also. the F.O.G.

Just pick a point that you feel will be the focal spot of your picture (usually on the horizon) and draw you imaginary lines radiating from there. the F.O.G.

I think you can only go to 180 degrees on field of view. A true fish eye gets 360 degrees. You might be able to fake it by using a sphere as a mirror. the F.O.G.

I think the sky is too bright, run the picture up on your screen until the sky is off the edge and see what you think. I would crop out the sky and then see if I wanted to brighten it up.

If you want to brighten up the image when shooting, it's a simple solution. Use a flash, it will also help freeze the action. If after the fact that pretty well covered above. the F.O.G.
