Good Mornin' Richard!
Welcome!
You'll find us a diverse group, with a lot of expertise, and a great
willingness to share it. If you have a question, never hesitate to post it!
I've never used the R4, though I've owned the R5 and R6 in past and
found them fabulous. Perhaps Doug Herr can weigh in here, as he uses
the R4 a lot. (There are other R4 users here, though my mind is going
blank (flu) this morning.
I am curious... educated in Portland... living in Calgary. Are you a
Canuck, or an ex-pat American, at this stage?
There are lovely scenics to be had in the Canmore area, as well as into
Banff, up the Icefields Parkway and even in the Brule/Entrance area,
north of Jasper. If you have time to travel, don't neglect the Wilmore
Wildnerness Park, just north of Jasper Park. And post some of your work
and give us the URL. We love looking at other folks stuff... and you'll
often get helpful comments on how to improve.
And, as for the manuals, you're most welcome!
Again, welcome to the group!
