Well done folks, congratulations to all. To introduce myself I am Harry and this is my first camera. my "entry" , (if you can call it that *smile*), was my second post here and my third picture on the camera. I am smitten by this all ready and the compete element will FORCE me to try and improve and learn this camera and get some skills that this forum is obviously not short on. I have learned a ton already and look forward to getting to know you folks. Feel free to comment on the pic and others as we go along.
Once again congratulations to all

Blast-Harry-loves video editing, waterfowling, fishing, competition duck calling. Thinks its hard to beat watching the sun come up.
