Ray, this workshop was THE BEST! I feel so privileged to have attended. Your images are *Gorgeous* and a great barometer for all us wannabe’s! Thank you again!
BTW – the camera store that sold me the ‘not so good lens’, agreed to take it back, and I am waiting for them to get in the 24-70. I thought that was pretty decent of them, thanks for the recommendation.
