Excellent job, particularly with the technology available at the time.

This shot in Nov. 2002. LX with A*300mmf/2.8. Shot the moon (a few times from our back patio) using a 1.4L Pentax T/C and tobacco colored filter. As many of you will remember. the LX would allow you to rewind the film to a desired frame. I did so and went to Gray Lodge Refuge the next day with designs on a flock of rising Snow Geese. I removed the filter and T/C and fairly quickly rolled up on a good flock of Snow Geese. As was usually the case, it took some waiting 'til the signal went out to the geese to lift off. Their calls as they take flight always give me chills. I had reset the exposure to what I guessed would under expose the scene a couple stops. I went home with a hope of "maybe" having gotten what I'd gone after. I consider the background a happy accident. I found that I'd failed to rewind the film quite enough, but stuck with it realizing it would not work as an 8X12. I was more than pleased with the exposures and came to a reluctant appreciation of the 8X10. Have sold a number to locals, one just recently, and keep a couple largish copies on continuous display. C&C? Thanks! J http://photolightimages.com/aspupload/detail.asp?ID=986
