I am so jealous of your photographic skills.
I need to spend more time on my Z50.

(**science note: To all flat Earthers: EVERYONE on Earth sees this same image of the moon at the same time. Except in the southern hemisphere where Peggy's image would be "upside down". PROVES the Earth is NOT a flat pizza.)

TBH, I've been working on my photographic skills for quite some time and that has led me to becoming a better photographer than I'd ever thought possible.

Shooting digitally makes it easy to learn since you get immediate feedback once your photos are in the computer. And it doesn't cost anything!

Love your science note! Thank you for including it.
