Thanks, Doug.....
I wanted to get to the point to have more control of my pictures, and I thought this guy was crazy to say that nobody uses manual anymore.
I had a really good point and shoot until I got caught in a rainstorm, on horseback in the Canadian Rockies last summer, so I decided to go that route.... I missed the days with my old Pentax K1000 and film, and control!!
Love ya
Lynn
