Interesting work. I like it. Beautiful color and nice compositions. I've found that for landscape shooting with autofocus it's better not to:-). Manual focus gives you so much better control for that. But if you do want to autofocus, select a point and choose the focal point yourself. I think all cameras get confused in that scenario given too many options. Paul On Sep 12, 2007, at 7:25 PM, Mark Cassino wrote:
