[Leica] IMG: Today's Tiger Swallowtail

[Jim Nichols]

Hi Adam,

Thank you very much for your kind words.  At 87, my days of traveling 
are behind me, so I don't have the range of subjects that you and others 
do.  I try to find interesting things within a thirty minute drive, 
often in my own yard.  So, I spend my energy on trying to make the best 
of the subjects available.  The additional resolution of the X-T2 has 
helped a lot, and I am a short-timer in the use of Lightroom, so I am 
still learning daily.  Comments and suggestions from the good folks on 
the LUG and the OM lists have also been very helpful.  After 65 years 
with Leicas and other cameras and lenses, there is still a lot to learn.
