I took this shot last month using my E-500. I think the settings were F/3.5, 1/80 and iso at 250. It was a bit dark so I lightened it up using levels in Paint Shop Pro. There was a smaller light pole behind this one which I cloned out and then added the extra lighting.

The shot was well taken but as far as the light, it really should be coming more from the center of the light bulb rather than from the left of it. Move it over some more, tone the light down just a tad, straighten the pole and it should be good to go.

You're totally right about the light, I saw that as i was posting it. The pole is as straight as it supposed to be, I swear I had my tripod leveled at both ends.
Thank you so much for your suggestions, I really do appreciate them, its always nice to hear what other people see, if that made sense at all.

I agree with Watt about the positioning of the 'light'. Congratulations for trying something "outside the box." Does your software allow an arbitrary rotation adjustment? Maybe a degree or less would to the trick. Help me understand what you meant by your tripod being "leveled at both ends."

I have 2 different levelers (I have no clue what they are called so thats oudned good) to tell me that my tripod is level. Thast what i meant

Thanks for the clarification. That's what I thought you meant but wanted to ask to be clear. Glad to hear you are using your tripod. I am sure you will notice a difference in the sharpness of your images.
