All,

    -My sentiments EXACTLY....   However, the "technical" info cannot be
ignored and I appreciate reading it.
But, remember that a lot of GREAT pictures were taken with inferior gear...
What made them great? -The
'artistic' element.... I agree with Sam,  lets cut some slack on the
technical and allow for some real admiration for the 'form' and 'results' of
what we do...  I'd like to see others worlks as attachments  or LINKS from
this forum so I can study that too....  David Lee's YOSEMITE works come to
mind for example... Also, there is a guy in Sacramento that seems to be
having a LOT of fun with his stuff (sorry, I can't remember the name but he
is in the OP folio)
