Excellent history, capture and info Oscar, you did very well composing and exposing this image in what I am sure was less then ideal light and room!! #1710545

Thanks John. Well, the tricky part was finding sufficient time to compose and expose in-between the armies of kids. Everyone onboard wanted to sit in the Captain's chair! #11710109
