You know what amfoto1, I'm so sorry I'm frustrating you with the same questions. Since my TBI 30 years ago, I can't understand or retain things as quickly or easily as I used to, and daily, it is getting increasingly worse. I can read and read, but things disappear or get all jumbled up in my head all the time. For example, I know exactly how I want to ask my questions, but they don't necessarily always come out as I intend them to. Obviously something wasn't "clicking" for me mentally, prompting me to ask the same question a different way. Sorry it's frustrating for you, but it's even more frustrating for me!
I wanted to start taking photos again because it allows me a small escape, I end up with something beautiful to look at that I can keep and look back on to remember, and I don't have to constantly think, think, think to try to sort something out inside my head...or at least I thought not, but maybe trying to start over, with a memory deficit, is a mistake on my part.
Before the TBI, I knew the computer and the camera inside and out; not digital, I learned on a Pentax K1000, and the darkroom was one of my favorite places to spend an afternoon.
Now, it's like a foreign language to me and it's VERY discouraging to sit and ask questions I know I already have the answers to, and can't even access them from my memory bank. I'm not trying to make excuses, it just is what it is. Simple as that.
That said, thanks for answering....again....but your snippy remarks really aren't any thing I need. I beat myself up enough without anybody else's help.
Before I leave, however, regarding those repetitive posts....without going into detail at the time, I very specifically ask for patience from the forum.
Regardless, I won't be asking any more questions. ðŸ˜

When you have TBI (traumatic brain injury) it is understood -- no one ventured to guess what was the causes for asking the same photography questions. Now we know and even without TBI some still asks the same questions over and over ---. A teacher goes through this situation at least once a year. This is why I hate anacronyms, not everybody knows the initials but knows the meaning of "Traumatic Brain Injury" when it is spelled out! Bless all teachers and pay them a decent salary!
