Today 27th January is 'Holocaust Day' and I got a good 'spread' in the 'Brentwood Yellow Advertiser' newspaper -- I got Front Page and three inside with a story -- they got a bit wrong in the story I sent over but never mind ! I used my 2007 K10D and tried 'RAW' and had it set to 800 ASA with bounced flash and available light in the Council Chamber where 'Kindertransport Survivor' Hanna Kleiner was telling her story with pics of her Mum & Dad killed in Auschwitz . The School Children were from my Kids' old school in Brentwood -- all the pics were taken in Brentwood Town Hall last Friday.

These look fab, with nice, natural colours and excellent clarity. Apart from that, and more importantly, they document what must have been a moving event really well.
