| Congrat. on your new toy! Very nice! I seems a bit too close up, I would like to see the fall ending. Konrad |

| Might try one second. You will probably have to get a polarizer and/or neutral density so you can leave the shutter open long enough. It took me forever to get good shots like that. But you're off to a great start, Andy. Cloudy days work great, too, and I know you are using a tripod. Are you loving your new toy? JoanMN/FL |

| That was WITH a polarizing filter...lol. Truth is it was WAY too bright for what I wanted to do, but that was the only time I could manage to get free from other things to go shoot some stuff. Im gonna go back at some point about an hour before sunset or as you said a cloudy day and see what I can improve on....and hopefully that dust that is so obvious in that pic has been removed by then too!! lol And yes, I'm loving it. If I could teach it to cook for me, I would ask it to marry me. :P for real though, it is by far the best "toy" I have ever owned...I must confess ,however, I do miss carrying my Sony h7 everywhere though...lol...I still have it...probably will keep it too!! :) A |

| I have used a polarizer AND an ND filter. Yes, some days I just think it's so heavy, especially if there are 3 or 4 lenses in the bag. I take my Sony H5 instead sometimes. Shhh, aren't you engaged? Or just to the camera!?? LOL. JoanMN/FL |
