Also, we're not responsible for hotel rooms, or dinning fees etc. You or those who wish to take this north eastern tour with us, come at your own risk and free will to travel as a group learning to photograph with new cameras or new equipment.
In fact and just for this occasion, I'll be making a purchase of a new Canon lens, Polarization filter and EF > EF-M lens adapter for my Canon M6.

Update:
According to Gurushots, the "A Shot To Remember" challenge just ended and my attached image "Pick Me" took 11th place. One of the best finishes ever for any of my images.
The story behind this image, is that we were driving down the coast of Maine last week to check out one of the light houses, turning the corner, there was this field of flowers. Grabbed my camera, but I couldn't get the right angle. I was either too low or too tall.. Nearly on my knees in a ditch beside the road, I took this shot on a cloudy forecast for rain day.
What was so difficult about this shot?.. it was windy too.. I focused on one flower in the middle and waited till the wind blew the flower into the right position. Nothing in this image has been altered or enhanced. It's odd that the leaves in this image seem pale almost waxy in appearance as they weren't a dark green to begin with.

Was asked to showcase one of many lighthouse pictures I took while in Maine. But sadly weather didn't cooperate. So I had to resort to plan "B" got a couple lighthouse shots while Near lake Erie. This one stands out to me and many who've also seen it.
