I found a good vantage point, had my wife holding down the tripod to stabilize it and took a couple pics (which came out nicely too). Then a biker dude came out holding a camera so we chatted a bit while putting the camera away. He was with his brother and both are avid bikers. While I was putting the camera away, I remember my motto "you always regret not taking the photo you want to take", so I walked back to them and asked his biker if I may take his photo. After fussing around for a few minutes, I captured this: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/richardman/810-201909-CurtRelick.jpg.html At home, I did a web search on him, and he is locally famous biker, including judging racing events. Love the 8x10 tonality. It's really an order of magnitude better than 4x5. -- // richard http://imagecraft.com Beyond Arduino - When you're ready to get serious...
