[Leica] IMG: More Birds

[len-1 at comcast.net (Leonard Taupier)]

Thanks Hoppy.
I had a very nice outing today. I also learned something about  
shooting up toward the sky from my last shots. Don't use the built in  
meter. Everything will get way underexposed. I shot in manual mode  
today and got much better exposures and photos.

Thanks for the kind words and for looking.
Len
