Then you'd REALLY be freaked out like I was all over you and you didn't know why or see it coming. I think the verbal thing with the charts and graphs is great but if one has a short stack to back it up blueberries or non it don't make no difference. A long stack would be better even. There are people though who do a whole lot of shooting to get that stack and a bit too much had gone down the tubes as they don't have a grasp on certain things and its a kind of a shame. We get philosophical in photography as so much of the real great stuff we shoot gets screwed up. Mark Rabiner 8A/109s New York, NY markrabiner.com
