[QUOTE="Paul4paws, post: 536784, member: 41595"] Hello everyone, sorry for long delay. Truly appreciate your in put. I jumped from a Panasonic Lumix FZ200, which I shot in M mode, to the D7100, think the transition would be an easy one. Boy, was I wrong. I'll try to post a pic later today or over the weekend. I am taking pictures of groups of dogs to share with clients on Facebook. I've been training for almost 25 years, and finding this photography thing much more complexed than any dog I've ever come across. :D One day I seem to be "Yes! I finally got it!"
