I don't know how many of you regularly participate in other photography forums, but I do and all I can say is that when I log in to NWP, I sigh a sigh of relief.

I don't know how many messages I've seen from guys who say they own a Canon 1Ds MKII and a 70-200 F2.8L lens and when they take a shot of a subject that's 17 miles away and blow it up to 16X20, it seems a bit soft. "Do I have a bad copy of the lens?" Jeesh!!!!!

On NWP, even the newbies ask intelligent questions and the veterans take the time to answer them. Frankly, I get tired of reading ridiculous posts from people with more money than brains. At least here, I know the images and the participants are always first-class.

Enough griping . . .

Call me,

Grumpy Jim
