But I sort of like it that way. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, I'm angling for a new digital on my NEXT B'DAY...just need to do the consumery homework. I want to get the price right for a fumbling but imaginative amateur.<BR/><BR/>I take an experimental piccy, it sits in the camera for a few months, and then I pay for a packet of prints and I can't remember what on earth the settings were. And worst of all my last film came back blank!

I like to take pictures of very small details (an ornament on the tree, an antique book, a figurine) from an arrangment on a shelf or table.

I took a picture of a fish in a fishbowl that was incredibly detailed and startling when it appeared on my computer screen! I'll try to find it and post it on Heronsnag.
