Its not that many rocks and its not critical detail. I think the shot could thus be saved and it would take a minute or two. Perhaps other with more critical detail would not be. -------------------- Mark William Rabiner Photography http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/lugalrabs/ mark at rabinergroup.com Cars: http://tinyurl.com/2f7ptxb > From: Tina Manley <images at comporium.net> > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2010 19:04:57 -0500 > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > Subject: [Leica] AARRGGHHH!! > > LUG: > > I will admit to you, the LUG, how frustrated I am with my photos of the > Grand Canyon.
