been away for a bit - here's one to ease my way back to the forum. This was taken at dusk and at ISO 1600 and 1/125 of a second with no stabilization and a 400mm lens. (Hint: under those conditions, brace the lens and take lots of pics to get one good one!)

I did get to spend a wonderful time in Europe with my family this summer and if anyone is interested, posted a few HDR photos from the trip in Other Cool Shots, which can be found here:

    Very nice capture and very good control in low lighting. Never seen them this small before, very nice.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Thanks everyone for looking...and Harry...
    I was just a little too close to get the whole thing in - what can you do - either it's too close or too far <g>...

    Thanks for the sentiments...

    Best regards...Keith
