+2 - Yep, saved here also! I am going to start putting a binder together and on the side of the binder it will read "TDP Reference Manual"!

Also, I've started on my winter project list ...

The more I shoot bird images the more I strive to "get it right in the camera" .... I think it definitely gives the best final results
