Hi Crew,
Many of you know how proud I am of my number 2 son and his shooting sports 
ability.

Given this past week he's been shooting the Canadian Skating Championships 
to determine which athletes go to the Olympics shortly, but he thought it 
might be interesting to use his older lens, a 400mm 2.8 manual focus Canon 
and his top end Canon digital camera while setting the ASA at 200! :-)

Trust me this is well worth having a look at what one can do when they shoot 
by feeling and not by numbers.

When I see his photography and give him praise his response is " well who do 
you think I learned it from to shoot by feelings and not by numbers, 
"Don't think, shoot!"

Have a look, and at ASA 200 it's quite surprising.
