You know, I forget where, but I recently saw a landscape picture that was just fantastic.

Everyone who looks at POTN really is dying to see pictures of your kids I just bought this (whatever) what do you think? AV and TV are for amateurs, real photogs only use manual There was no post processing in the days of film This is a myth?!?!?!? Oh, no - have to find something else to post...how about my dogs?

The first youngster has been maligning the lens incessantly as a part of his self-denial pleasure seeking, the other boy is still doing the QA/QC testing of an open ended production unit sample of da brick.....I believe he might be on his 8th copy by now.
