As to lightening up, and not stirring things up - take a look in the mirror some time, Marc. And by the way, forget the Pulitzer - You may know all there is to know about cameras made 50 years ago, but when it comes to using them, I'll put my photography up against yours any time you'd like. ;-) B.
