There is no doubt that Ted is a master of his craft and he does on auto 
pilot what
most of us still have to think about (or don't at all). 

My point is that I think one must be aware of the fact hat in addition to a 
lot of talent,
there is also an awful lot of training and experience behind the ability to 
be able to take
shots like that.
