    This is a great exercise to do. Interesting the range of cameras used which shows again the equipment is much less important than the eyes behind it…

      It is interesting all the cameras I used that returned these images. I would never have guessed that the Minolta AF-Sv, for example, was so capable.

      Thanks Bob! That one is remarkable, isn’t it? Even if I do say so myself! That was a case where the image was far, far better than I could have imagined when I composed it.

    Yes that Packard hood ornament really has something!
    10 Pictures is quite an output. I’ll maybe come up with three, but not without cheating a bit :=))
    Thanks for showing.
