Home Safely<\/h3>\n

After a pretty good night’s sleep on the Auto Train we pulled into Sanford, FL this morning an hour early. I was way-lucky when my SUV was one of the first off the train. After stops at Publix and Junior’s Fish Market in Lake Wales I arrived at my home in Indian Lake Estates, FL at about noon, just in time for a nap. I am still feeling a bit under the weather but nothing too serious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central sensor (by necessity)\/AI Servo Expand\/Rear Focus AF active at the moment of exposure. The AF sensor was on the water below the side of the bird’s breast where the black meets the white; don’t ask me why the eye is sharp…. Click here<\/a> if you missed the Rear Focus Tutorial.
