One of my first frames through my d2h {before the meter gave up}.
Toggling to various AF area positions was alien to me at this time, and as i use my left eye to view through the viewfinder, the tip of my nose 'just' touches the multi-selector pad, and sometimes had moved my choice of AF area to the left .After i discovered this may happen, i resorted to locking the AF area. However,i soon discovered that this may lose me valuable time if i needed to change the areas at quick notice, and i have now become accustomed to taking extra care, and now leave it unlocked at all times.
Fortunately {with this shot}, i just had time to release the lock, and move the AF area to a suitable position.

What a lovely shot Alan - nice and sharp with bags of detail - nice one
Nice... strangely enough I am profoundly left eyed as well so know the problems...

Hi Alan,
Superb image. Lovely and sharp with bags of detail and colour. I too am a "left hooker" but thankfully as you need about ten pairs of hands to operate the buttons on a 1D MKII I'm OK
Regards
Rob

Hi Alan
Lovely shot, no nits. good colour, detail and background. Quite a tightly framed shot, I would like a bit more space, but still fine as it is.
