Thanks for the tips - the pic shows when I look at it. I've got to figure out how to link from Googlepics. I just put it on Picasa (being phased out in favor of Googlepics). Here's the pic. No time to play with it today - gonna be busy the next few weeks.

: Mike, your pic didn't post. Excellent choice. The Canon 100/2.8 is
: one of my favorites. I can give you one strong recommendation,
: though. Use it almost exclusively with a tripod and you'll be
: much happier with the results. Enjoy and show us some examples
: as you keep firing it up.
