My OLD BRAIN still has a problem accepting the "backwardness" of f/stops. Larger Numbes, smaller openings, more or less depth of field..... great for young alert minds... logic says its all backwards lol...... I just have to stop and think each time.... more is less, more is less, more is less...
Not nice to fool old people..... but fortunately I develop my own way of remembering things....
Thank you Jim for the excellent explanation

I taught computer science courses at night for 17 years. I've been an IT consultant for 29 years, off and on, in addition to regular W-2 jobs. I've been explaining technical mumbo jumbo to neophytes all that time. I've found that generally, people are intelligent enough to grasp most any concept if it is explained clearly. Stay away from jargon and slang, use analogies to help make new concepts more familar, and don't look down your nose at the person trying to learn. Every computer geek in the world was a newbie at one time. So was every photographer, auto mechanic, cook, or brain surgeon.

I love your attitude on teaching.... When I was teaching (not photography) I often reminded myself to remember that although some things were second nature to me now, the student was probably hearing it for the first time and I needed to explain it in a manner which could be understood by the novice. Its amazing how much faster people learn when presented with information in an easily understandable manner.

Hey Gessman, That's funny well actually I was Stationed at the Amphibious Base Coronado in San Diego and everyone said I was like Bugs Bunny! As in pranks I was always know to get some body back last. Like Bugs Bunny did. You may get him but he would always get you back last.

Uh oh! I must be careful with my witticisms with you. That's good to know. As you've no doubt noticed, my policy is "lock and load - fire at will." I'll be careful.

No Worries Gessman, And I like your policy. I wished I was in Colorado with you. I really enjoy the winter and cooler weather better than any other season. I'm sure you have some great Photo's from your area. It seems where I'm at I will have to travel a bit for some good shots.I have the places in my head to go, it is just going. Keep in touch, hey are you on face book by chance?

Nope, not on Facebook but put an end to that time drain. Gotta do something about this one too. This forum is infectious, if not addicting. I don't feel as though I want to miss anything and yet if I don't, it leaves no time to get out with the ol' camera which is what this is all about in the first place. There's so much good info floating around in here. I don't think I've ever found a more fertile ground for picking up tips. Never been to Indiana 'cept maybe just for a minute along the bottom there. I have subject matter falling on me around here. I wouldn't mind having some of my youth and vigor back but I hear it doesn't work that way. Still, we can find good shots wherever we are. Just have to use our imagination a little more.

Well that is where I am, at the Southern end, Georgetown Indiana. I'm actually from Ky and didn't move to IN until 1988, I purchased a Horse Farm. Yea you're right about the Imagination part in the Photography, It's just there's allot of picks I've got in my head I'd like to get in other states. I have some railroad picks around here I need to get to. Yea Face Book is addictive but I'm disciplined enough to prevent it.
