Thanks Jay. If I can exchange a couple of thoughts on post processing for some help from you on achieving proper exposure and getting the most out of my 1DMK4 - that will be more than a fair trade

If anybody is interested in the early history of this field, check these WW2 aerial photos of Williams Army Air Field. Unfortunately, they aren't very good. The 1941 photo was taken before very many of the building had been built. The cadre was still living in tents.
