Portra film

Hi Sharon, thanks for the suggestion. I've read about this film on other threads, possibly from you? I have a digital camera that I'm learning how to use. It's a Canon powershot a20. I finally learned how to turn the flash off, and have been quite pleased with the images. The main problem I had the day I photographed, was that I was trying to combine two things at the same time. We were just sitting and visiting when I decided it would be a good time to photograph him. I grabbed the camera and shot while he and my husband talked. No planning, no lighting consideration, just gabbing, and hoping I might get something usable.

I also have an old Pentax spotmatic 35mm. It takes beautiful photos but I don't know how to use it and don't have an instruction book. My first husband got the KitchenAid and cookbooks and I got his camera and the kids! When I get the extra time I'll see what I can find on internet for instuctions on this camera. It's worth learning how to use.

Now, how to get the bread to you, dry ice maybe!

Jean
