Thanks for all the kind comments about my pics this month. You are all very kind.

John -- Although I primarily shoot with a Canon D30, the current pic was taken with a Nikon D300 and a Nikon 70-200 lens. I could look up the actual specs if you're interested but, in all honesty, I took this particular photo in automatic mode. The lens flare around the lighthouse was complete luck. I didn't notice it until I downloaded the camera.
