  Thanks, Cynthia, it is really my shot of the night. A fluke, I had the setting wrong, I thought. It turned out to be the RIGHT setting, smile. Maybe I learned something, it was kind of shooting into the sun.
  
  I was happy to see it. Lots of disappointments, so one like this can be a real thrill!
  
  I am going shooting something else in the morning early, so have to get to bed, but I wanted to post something here, first. I picked the best I had........I think.

  Thanks, Ben, Jeff,
  
  that is as far as my 400 will reach, I have to put that stuff in. That shot was such an accident, totally from exposure to composure. Lucky accident, smile.
  
  I have been composing for more years than I knew anything technically, maybe that helped, but it was still such an accident. It is not cropped. In fact, the first go around in PS last night seemed to hurt the shot, so I did one thing, think I raised the sat just a tad. Sharpened it and brought it down, to mess with later.
  
  Took 450 shots last night..............................and boy did I mess up my favorite ones. I got some birds that should be good. Nothing is turning out like I thought, though.
  
  I may be tired, and I have to shoot this AM, tonight I hope and tomorrow a baptism.
  
  That is off the old Pitt street bridge...........I will take a photo sometime, the bridge part is gone, but it is a nice walking area!
