The sun on May 1 - PST Coronado

It was a beautiful day with a lot of sun. I tried to take pictures with my D60 Nikon and PST but failed as focus point could not be found - even with as many tools, connectors...

Thus finally below picture was taken afocal with my iPhone 6 and edited using CS4 in b/w. Below right you can see some of the flares.

Nikon D60 Shuttercounter and Exif format

Wondering how many clicks you made with your D-SLR camera? Well it's easy as your Jpeg picture has this data embedded. Just use a exif viewer/reader (exchangeable image file format) and open a most recent jpeg picture and you will find out. I'm personally using software from Opanda eg. Iexif 2.3 exif reader.
So, and how many I currently have: 39904.... see below
