Lamb, III offered: >>> With respect, there ARE beginners with Leicas here who do not enjoy the > tone of the advice received from some, and refrain from asking.<<<< William, ok then! Let's fix it! Lets make this work in another fashion, certainly if this is the truth, as I'm sure from your comment there must be quite a number of the 1800 who are living in fear of photographic comment therefore afraid to ask!!. Right now! My my computer screen is wide open to all the shy newbies, rookies! They are welcome to come at me one on one with their questioins, or better attached pictures for comment. I will treat them no differently than if we were in a class room, so they need no fear of embarassement in public. However, I am gentle in comment and teaching. But if I see the same stupid mistakes being made after I've pointed it out three times I'll verbally kick their ass! Well OK c'mon, after 3 times having it explained and a photographer is still doing the same stupid mistake wouldn't you expect to kick their ass to get the point across ? ;-) Let's see how many take me up on the offer. Actually there are LUG folks over the past few years whom we've gone one on one from "get go of shooting" to where they are producing wonderful photography and all done via screen, word and pictures, sometime on the phone to get a point across easier. So guys and gals go for it. :-) This offer could end as quick as my heart stopping! ;-) ted
