Thanks Jan Anne - I too can see it now.

Many thanks for this and the other images from yourself and all  of the other participants.  My great grandfather came from Dunbeath in Caithness in the far north east of Scotland, so I am quite delighted to glimpse the country via your images.  Hope to get myself there some day.

Thanks Hugh, found the mistake, it now should now like the others.

Erik handles the massive Fish with utmost ease.

[Lowell]

Erik,

The photos of the Standing Stones with the fish eye lens are really spectacular! I appreciate the work that you put into the mechanism to hold the thing.  When you use the vertical mount how do you ensure that you get the framing and focus correct, since there is no way to use the optical view finder of the lcd on the back of the camera.  Are you hooked up to something like an iPad or other computer?

Thanks,

Lowell
