Even on those very good days, most of the time is spent getting ready to catch fish, getting organised to catch the next one or wondering why that one got away. I think it’s the same with photographs.<br /><br />Cheers - Stewart M - AustraliaStewart Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04622420206244603688noreply@blogger.com
