[Leica] 2500 ISO

[hoppyman at bigpond.net.au (G Hopkinson)]

Doug obviously absolutely worth the effort, as you have shown. A pretty 
tough subject to expose well, in this instance.
Cheers

IMHO, the automatic settings will do fine 90% to 95% or even 98% of the 
time. The technical tweaking is for those of us who are anal about the 
last 2%. of the time.

it was paying attention to the details that kept the details in the 
whitest areas of the animal's coat.  The detail isn't all that visible 
on the monitor but on an RA4 print it's all there.  Would this have 
been as good a picture if the top of the muzzle were blown out?  
Perhaps to some people it would be but not to me.
