I meant to reply to this post yesterday, Moose, but I deleted it by mistake. I
then failed to find it because I mistakenly searched for ’Sproing’.
All the shots look very good. I almost wrote ’surprisingly’ but stopped
myself, because I too like the TZ200 as it’s called Over Here – I bought it at
your urging several months ago.
However, I feel that you’ve found its sweet spot and I’ll have to work to do
that.
What was the occasion for the group of people sitting in line?
I really liked the way you’ve caught the small pink flowers (cornflowers?).
And the bases of the beer glasses . . .
