HI Nathan, 

I agree that machine gun photography might not be to everyone’s taste - but that is what is required to get the end result and many viewers seem to
appreciate the result. I feel a sense of satisfaction when a dozen or so photos out of the 700 are worthy of being worked on. 

One time I ended up at the ferry terminal with my M10 and my old (1962) 135 Elmar. I shot maybe 20 photos and out of them there was one photo of an eagle taking off which I developed and cropped to about 1/3 the frame. It was okay but the eagle’s position wasn’t great. Horses for courses, I say!!

Switching topics I very much enjoy your European travelogues and although I don’t comment every time I do travel along with you each positing. Well done.

Warm Regards,
Howard
