Actually, I took that photo because of the light beam (flare) which I could see in the viewfinder. However, after reading your comments and looking at it again I think it might have some potential as a "real" image. I will make the trek back to the site (it is a neighbor's driveway :)) and try again. Ken On 1/17/2015 11:04 AM, Ted Grant wrote: > Ken Carney SHOWED: > >>> but some shadows on our afternoon walk.
