Thanks John (Scheuerer). When I got the 135/2.8 pics back I was impressed
with how well the bokeh looked; they came out much better than I thought
they would. The pano's are fun to do and am working on more with even
wider lenses. It is a learning experience and different from traditional
single frame photos, including composition and time of day.
For others who got the dreaded "404" page today, I also had an email about
it off-list. Getting it myself at noon. Went to XOOM.COM's system status
page. Yep, looks like they gots major servers down; from the list it looks
like about half their system. :-( I would try later today or this
evening. My guess is the server's "URL Posting Detector" went off when I
sent the email and it went into auto-meltdown. :-)
Thanks,
-- John
