Nothing gets you using your tripod more than the making of very large prints. Even at 125th of a second where you think you are safe with a normal and a wide it's awful nice to see that detail line up when you've spent the money on the large sheet of paper. A different ballgame than projection where anything looks good. Yes blurry pictures are OK sometimes for me too! And yes! this does have a familiar ring to it as do 99% of all our discussions. But I think we hone them to a finer point in each deja vue. If I and or Jim had said this before I'm sure we both enjoyed saying it better this time! Ritual is important! Like Family! Mark Rabiner
