Seriously I want to thank those who've answered and made it clear of how 
much of the new technical side of photography can assist in producing better 
images. It was Tina who turned me around from shooting JPEG to RAW simply 
because she explained it to me in a manner I could understand it in my 
simplistic manner.

I suppose much of my side, maybe too much in relation to the modern ways of 
the equation?? ................
It's "Time! Instinct! Experience! Results without thought! It happens, why 
think about it! Or how it happened, or why it happened."  It looks great my 
way! What else do you need as it's worked for 60 plus years!

Obviously one can not these days, continue to function in such a simplistic 
manner! There are too many "tools" one can call on to help, "make obviously 
better looking images" when using the tools provided. ERGO: One must go back 
to "photo school" and learn the must know things or fail the class 
miserably.

So off to find a book........ "Modern day photography for Dummies!" :-) Or 
the likes to explain in the most simplistic fashion what it all means and 
why?

Thanks crew, one and all.

cheers,
Dr. (keep it simple stupid!) ted
