I wanna take photog lessons from Coaster Matt!

Oh, a word about the bobsled seating, now that I've sat:

Ironically, it's now the front seats that are cramped. There is no leg room in the new nose cone. The back seats have extension areas for legs. (Someone compared them to gyno stirrups!). The seat back is at a bit of a weird angle and is a little uncomfortable, and indeed the side handles are now ergonomically impossible to hold onto. But if you pretend it's a bobsled and lean forward, holding onto the front bar, there's really no problem with either the seating or getting banged around (any more than on the old bobsleds).

He's already helped me by recommending a book so I can start using and understanding the manual functions on my new camera.

Spoilered because it might be a little too big for the window

Nice shot!

What helped me to learn (once I got the controls down) was to experiment with shooting a *lot* of frames. Different settings, different angles, different light if possible. And see what it looks like.
