Having been one of those dummies on a couple of occasions trust me, "it hurts, it scares the hell out of you, it hurts more, it breaks cameras and you figure every bone in your body has been broken. Finally...your last thought as you are being buried under a pile of huge bodies is, " After all I've been through I'm going die on a damn football field!" ;-) fade to black! :-) For any of you who haven't had this exciting experience, trust me it's not one you want to go through, particularly when you're completely blind sided and don't see it coming. Why? Because you're shooting in a different direction and "WHAM BAM" the game is over! Really fade to black. ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
