My intent was to encourage the film-based camera users to express their
thoughts on this
Photo echo because their cameras still have some advantages over the
digitals eventhough
some people found the digitals totally satisfactory for their uses. And
that's all right too.

I found your aurora shot and the lightning shot interesting because not too
many digitals
can .take "B" shots which any film-based camera can handle with ease.

The "Children" shot looked  more like art work, but nicely done.

On the rocket shots, I was wondering why you didn't show more than 2
sequential shots since
your camera can handle 3 shots per second.Of course personal choice
prevails.

The other sequency shots of car and people are attention getters. I can
imagine the hard work
involved...
