Love it! :-) But your "automatic" is everybody else's "think about this and then set it the way it should be for the light" I speak to college photography classes all the time and you would be surprised at how many of them have no idea about exposing for light, waiting for the decisive moment, and not altering the truth. So many have the idea that everything has to be manipulated and altered to be weird or express their "artistic vision". I get really upset at gallery shows, especially some of the "installation" examples that I saw at PhotoPlus Expo!! Did anybody see the corncribs or chiffon scarfs???!! >Well you never know what the Great Spirit may have in mind for me a year >from now. ;-) This has been a terrible year for photographers, but you will be with us for a long time, Ted. You take care of yourself (other than the occasional Lagavulin!) and you certainly don't appear to be in your 70's! >Anyway who knows what can happen during the next twelve months and as I >said only the Great Spirit can answer that..
