Another lovely shot, David ~ I really enjoyed the journal too, but of course most of the tech stuff is over my head! Cheers, Coco

Thank you, Coco. The Journal is as much for me as for anyone else - I'm just setting down a record of what I did and the settings of the camera and lens. This is a complex system that requires a lot of learning.

Cheers

I like the way they look like lined up as in a contest. Beautifully captured.

I have a feeling that Mandarins pair for life.
