Wulf, I guess the fact that I have an 8MP camera is one reason I've been able to 'cheat' where my camera lacks in other areas (i.e. small sensor and lack of true macro lens). Thanks again for your explanations.
ELAY, despite the fact that my head still hurts too
, I find that I have gained in the least
something that sort of resembles understanding. The numbers are what really get me...
...let my quest for fuller understanding continue--
slowly, but surely!
taykuyphotoart, thanks for the tip regarding the Opteka.
