Nice shots, Wayne. Great use of the long exposure on the falls. Not sure I'd
want to be that close to a Moose (present company excluded....), strange
looking beastie.
As for the scanner, check the cables and reboot. A sudden change like that
could be as simple as the cable, or as simple as a total loss. You wanted a
new one anyway, didn't you? ;-) After that, I'm not much help.
