Tas - Hey..I don't really care that you get to hang with beautiful models, especially those with stunning eyes and flowing hair ... nope, don't care at all. Take your old pictures ... doesn't bother me ......... not one single bit. Ummmmm .... you wouldn't happen to need someone to carry around your camera bag or reflectors or something, would you? I don't eat much..really. :) Hehehe...I'll get there one day. Actually thinking of taking a portrait/glamour workshop this winter. Seriously, I do have a question. I've thought about getting a digital camera just for something you mentioned. Practicing my technique and composition. As it stands, even when I have a bag full of film I tend to budget my shots because of the film/developing costs. There are times when I would like to go crazy and pop off a couple dozen shots using different angles and whatnot, but can't bring myself to "waste" that many frames. Wondered what everyone thought of using a digital for those times (thinking 3+ megapixel)? Or do you think sticking with film is a better idea, since part of the technique is understanding your film and how it will capture what you see. Realisticly, unless I went to a high-end digital SLR; I'm not going to get the quality I can get with Provia or Velvia, the incredible speed/low-light capability of an Ilford Delta 3200 or the beautiful rich blacks and white-whites of a Fuji Neopan Acros (and in some respects, even the highend DSLRs can't achieve these yet). -=>Donald
