Description

I'm sorry that I no longer have the camera setting for this photo. I would have to guess it was f8 @ 1/500 or maybe 1/250. I lost most of my 2006 photos in a hard drive melt down and not all my work was backed-up.

This photo was sent back to me from someone who I had sent it to a few years ago. I know that there may be a slight lossy compression... but I really liked the photo.

Not to take away from your terrific action photo Gunther but this should remaind us all to back up our files! It's not if you'll have a hard disc crash its just a matter of when it will happen--I've had four crashes since retiring in 2001. So please be safe and not sorry and everyone do your backups. I can see why you were happy to get this photo back. Wonderful design, timing and colors Gunther!! #6059117
