    Hot Tip

    Sam, Thanks for the diffuser pic. I was not sure how to take good pics of larger pieces. Just not enough cloudy days to consistently have good diffused lighting.

    JJ, As always it is a pleasure to see your work. Clean, uncluttered, and crisp. You seem to have an unending supply of A-5's. I had a FN Sweet Sixteen given to me by my eldest brother as my first ( not borrowed) shotgun, and I regret that I had to sell it during lean times in my early...
