Hartelijk dank!

Initially, the most difficult was to backward engineer from the 
photograph. Camera position/orientation, lens characteristics, all that 
is unknown from the start. Invaluable help came from the use of Tim 
Nikias' Glare macros which allow for a background image in the scene. 
That way I could reconstruct more easily perspective and size of the 
different street and building elements.

Lighting and media were/are the next pain in my right foot big toe. I am 
still not done there although I get gradually closer to what I want. 
Patience is the keyword.

Tim Nikias' site can be found here: http://www.nolights.de/index.html
However, I cannot find the Glare macros there anymore. Somebody any 
idea? Tim?
