           | Nice job Dave. I like the dof. The colors and detail are great.

           | Congats. for the DoD, Dave. This one is also very good. I think that in order to make a good photo, a flower need not always be in its prime. Thank you for your comment.
 After throwing out some 7000 slides & remaining with about 3000, my latest acquisition was a slide scanner. I received it from B&H in N.Y, non functioning, had to return it & received a new one. After that adventure, the new one functions well & you're right. I'm going through old stuff with a great deal of nostalgia. For one thing, I don't think that with an Israeli passport I might be let into Indonesia, but being let out would, probably, be very difficult. (lol)
 Best regards,
 Rafi

           | Hi Vandy, thanks for the comment! Yes, I usually use ISO 200. It's the lowest ISO value on my camera, and with 400 noise can be a problem. I increase the ISO if it's the only way I can get a useable shot. Dave.

           | This one is kind if wrinkled like me.  Old and about all in.  The sun really makes great shadows and detail.  Good isolation from the background.  Don.
