4. The near building is the smoke house, the round building is the ice house/root cellar.

Info on Ashland, Henry Clay's estate. Muhammed Ali's original name was Cassius Marcellus Clay. Cassius was Henry Clay's cousin, and an ardent abolitionist. If you like Ginkgo trees, thank Henry Clay. He brought many back from China with him. http://www.henryclay.org/ |

9. Thank you. Manual lenses make you more deliberate.
|
I think it allows for more time to get the composition and exposure you want.

11. I'm not good enough or fast enough to do street photography with a manual lens.

When I do landscape and macro, the manual lenses suit me just fine. I have an old Canon zoom I use on occasion. |
