You must be thinking of a different part of the Bay -- the range in that shot is over 2 nm. -- Best regards, John "Assumption is the mother of all screw ups." [Wethern�s Law of Suspended Judgement]

Which wouldn't be necessary if none of you ignorant fools who know nothing about using P&S cameras properly wouldn't invent outlandish lies about them so that he DOES have to defend his choice in camera gear. Are you this daft? Apparently so. In your own words you admit attacking others who are capable of using P&S cameras at a professional level. That insecure are you? Just because you lack the skills to use any camera properly. Anyone who can use a P&S camera to produce images better than you can use $50,000 of DSLR gear puts you all to shame. And you just can't handle that because it shouts loud and clear of your OWN incompetence. Pity. The only images I've seen posted to these newsgroups that are worth looking at are those who have submitted them from their P&S cameras. None of the DSLR images have been worth anyone's time. That says tomes right there.
