Thanks for the kind Props from everyone...

That sunrise, from yesterday I think, was simply and literally,
a snap shot from our deck with my 5 yr old point & shoot ol'
Canon S50 pocket cam. Straight off the flash card...I just
aimed right into the sun, as it rose above the valley fog, over
the Canton Gap.

trueX: "Sharpening"...hmmm. I was PM'ng with Gresch on that very
topic; I'm not a fan of much sharpening as it tends to push
the edge acutance too much, imo. I don't have real PS so
it limits my fiddling, which is fine. That horizon is 15 miles and
all the stuff in the "middle" is gonna be tough to shoot "sharp",
as the distance and size of the view precludes much detail in
all the other stuff. A view cam at f32 or f64 might catch it, or
a monster digital of some kind...but, that backlight, contrasty
morning shot does not lend itself to detail in fore or mid ground, imo.

Haigha: not your usual. V & I are in this weekend's annual Mixed
Mem-Mem, aka the Divorce Derby. We had a fine 77 gross/57 net
today in Better Ball Partners. She shot an 87 and I had an 83, both
below our current 'Caps. Tomorrow is 2 person team scramble, not
my fave, but we are right in the hunt. 6 years ago, at our first go
at this format, we came in dead fookin last and about 20 shots out
of 2nd to last, lol! We have improved...golf may be the greatest game
ever invented.
Thanks again for looking and the feedback...
