You must have an odd one, Jim, my cap is now lost, because it falls off too easily. But the harried life of a photojournalist, I even lost a Gitzo tripod, and just remembered where I left it. And boy did I have fun with my 19mm 2.8 last night. I was sitting watching an HBO movie last night when all of a sudden I noticed in the middle of a thunder storm that the sun broke out, just about time for sunset. I thought "there has to be a rainbow." So I jumped up and looked out and sure enough. But this one was different, it had streaks of lightning flashing through it. So I ran out with my Tiltal tripod and R8 and 19 and shot a roll of 100 Neg film. F/22 for whatever time it was taking something like 4-8 seconds. And several times I think I caught a couple of flashes on one frame. We shall see tomorrow. It's like Christmas waiting to open the presents. Makes me want to go to work Monday morning! - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch You know how to make God laugh? Make a plan. - Anonymous
