After all I'm an expert on Renate with an "e" at the end.
Last time I checked I was female. :-)
The "e" on the end is German and it doesn't rhyme with "rebate".
While I am responding to this thread, I would like to thank everyone for taking the time and reviewing my work. I'm quite in awe of the technical knowledge of all of you being an artist by trade and exploring the new medium of digital photography for the past couple of years. Thanks for all the great info I am getting by just lurking.
Love and good light,
Renate

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."
