So I thought,"Well these guys know all about this stuff. "MAYBE I CAN LEARN SOMETHING I DIDN'T HAVE A PHOTO CLUE ABOUT?" So I've been reading them? I still don't have a CLUE WHAT THE HELL IT HAS TO DO WITH THE MAGIC MOMENT CAPTURED @ 1/1000 of a sec?" Or the runner winning the 100 meter Olympic Gold medal Race? I have 5 cameras hanging about shoulders and neck all different size lenses for the immediate moment required? "SEE SHOOT MERELY BY GRABBING PROPER CAMERA BY INSTINCT...... "CLICK!" Image captured move on to next exciting moment without an eye blink about what lens?????? WHY? ONCE AGAIN! It's the content and grabbing the camera with the right lens is all that matters! "DON'T THINK OR IT'S OVER!" It appears again that this kind of " CROP FACTOR" stuff must really mean something major to the "ROCK & FERN FOLKS?" Real-life shooters??? "NADA!" Besides if you don't know anything about it? It "ain't goin' to hurt you!" :-) Cause in Two Wars, a helicopter crash at 50 below zero, very bad landings in ski equipped Otter aircraft. When taking pictures of President Ronald Reagan. Oh yeah President Kennedy, Her Majesty Queen of England, And one of the most beautiful photos of Jacquie Kennedy ever????? "This "CROP FACTOR GOBBELDY-GOOK" STUFF NEVER MATTERED? Or I don't think so? Because it was never in a mind thought ! Hell I didn't even know it existed? So in plain understandable English language would, please "one person?" Not with 33 e-mails (thank you) explain to me what I've done wrong for 65 years and possibly I can correct the errors of my photographic ways? Thank you very much. Any other "ERRORS OF MY WAYS?????????" You are free to use your imaginations on that one. HOWEVER? NOBODY HAS THE ANSWERS TO FIX THOSE! :-) :-) I suppose I might say "You really don't want to know?" Mischievous devil wouldn't you say? ;-) :-) Thank you most kindly. cheers, Dr. ted :-)
