I think your post explains why you often times come up with these breathtaking photos. You are always looking to improve both your work and your knowledge of photography. Your F-5 story reminds me of a boss I had at Ritz camera. He had the F-5 and the expensive lenses. By his own admission he knew little if anything of the mechanics of photography, and his work showed it, but he bought the f-5 for the superior metering. Your post has one other positive effect. I think I'm going to start using my handheld meter more often. BUTCH Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself. Hermann Hess (Damien)
