Hi,
Still cannot get on to the "earnings" page. I expect they can figure it out soon.

Hi everyone.
Merry Season Holidays greetings to all of you. From an Irishman in Nagoya, Japan. Cold but with a great blue sky today. I am to take some photos of fireworks. now, where did I put that thingamajig for the whatjammacallit that goes on the yokey.
thanks everyone. even you Peter.!!

It's a DNA thing. there is a bit of a chimp in all of us.  
Yes, I chimp.  I check back to see the exposure and white balance. But not when I am in "The Flow"
I have found myself smiling at tourists who constantly look at the back of the camera after each shot rather then through the viewfinder.  So you could say I like watching chimps....or chimpers!

Hi

Fuji Finepix 68000 my intro to digital
Nikon P70 ?  kept it too long
Nikon D80 my new baby.
