It's very odd - I have never seen an artificial tree like that before.They were really pretty all lit up during Christmas. When we first saw the flags on the trees, my wife asked if I am shooting B&W and I said I was, then I remember I am shooting with the M9 and has the option of NOT converting to B&W :-) On Sat, Feb 25, 2012 at 9:21 PM, Jim Nichols <jhnichols at lighttube.net>wrote: > Richard, > > Except for the first one, the BW images are great.
