What a pleasure it is to have some free time. I've been so bogged down with stuff I haven't even looked at my camera. But this weekend I got out to the 3rd Street Promenade (spelling?) yesterday and today, The Grove.

    There's a huge fountain in the middle of the Grove. They have some Koi there the size of a school bus.

    I got your PM. I'm not ignoring you; just have a lot of plates I'm spinning at the same time. I'll answer your PM tomorrow.

    Thank you for the input.thumb.gif

    Hi Snap,
    The only way I'm thinking that you could improve these would be to submerge your camera and get an underwater shoteek7.gif. Then again, it may not come out too well if you do that. Nice shots with brilliant colors, but the focus is a bit soft. Not sure if that's caused by the water or the focus. I've found that shooting through water causes auto focus to be fooled, so I usually use manual focus.

    Wonder how they would taste smoked:eat.
