why didn't I think of that... and changing the iso and wow I must have forgotten basic camera stuff that night. Maybe I will get a nother thurs night off and be able to go back before he leaves. I have a great walking stick. It says jeep on it. :) I actually bought it to use as a monopod way back before my ex tried to take my cameras away from me. ... I am learning a lot about phootoshop elements working on this project though. I have over 300 picts to finish going through. maybe there will be some better than I thought. thanks for your helpthough.
