Hi Ted, yes, that it the trick: I turn the screen off: saves battery 
power as well ;-) There are traps with Digital which I would not want 
to fall into on that once in  a lifetime trip and screw up my images: 
so I am learning a bit of digital at home, continuing to polish old 
skills and using them till the new ones are up to scratch ;-)

Cheers

Oh, and about those images ;-)
