Hi Norman, I think it did us all good to explore this subject. For me, it was all new information. Although I had read about some of things, they were parts of my photographic education that I kind of glossed over. I realize better now than ever how poor a self education can be. Regardless of how hard I tried to address all the material, there were simply parts that I found uninteresting at the time. That is why school is so important. There is someone there to help you understand how things fit togetherand why you should be interestedin the things that dont seem interesting. This group has been a wonderful lurking experience for me. So much that I still can learn...
