Hi Richard, I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your advise to me upon joining the Nikonian web site. It is rare indeed that a newbie like myself gets help from such a veteran as you in the infancy of ones photographic pursuit. you are to be commended sir....and your photographs are stunning to say the least. They give me hope to one day be able to get results even half as good as yours! Thanks again, Richard S. Fultz
