Hi Dave,

LOL.  Thanks!  I've seen the Red Green Show occasionally and had to look up 
the reference.

What is it with this 'grab", "capture" terminilogy that's floating around 
nowadays?

I'm happy you enjoyed the shot and this next comment isn't directed at you 
by any means.

Personally I find the terminology a little distateful because it seems to 
imply that the photographer was somehow just a lucky fellow that happened to 
"grab" or "capture" the photo without any real effort, or exercise of 
expertise, disconnected and somewhow less responsible for the resulting 
image than the equipment itself.  I don't know if this is somehow related to 
the digital revolution or not.

In reality I went and got the camera, chose the ISO, lens, f-stop, shutter 
speed, and composed.  This one BTW, is totally uncropped. :-)

So it is more than a "grab" or a "capture".  There, now that I got that off 
my chest....

Tom C.
