Nice pics! And AWESOME info for the pics! I Did not have to look at
everything, but is it all film, or have you stated to branch into
digital at all?

Thanks!

No, at the taking stage I'm still in the dark ages! A problem is that I
invested so much in equipment that I need my camera-company to come out with a
good digital SLR body that takes my lenses. But ... Pentax! (I'm a bit out of
touch - I need to see what they are up to). Also, I downloaded some test shots
from a top-end digital Nikon and I judge that ideally I need about 8
megapixels. (After scanning I have 20 megapixels, but I've concluded that more
than half of them are wasted on grain, and I just need 8 from a digital
camera).

I give slide shows, and also scan in to my PC, then use Photoshop, etc. I gave
my wet darkroom to a relative who still loves that side of things, because it
a way of escaping. It was capable of doing 24" x 20" colour prints, although
the largest I ever did was 20" x 16". All the pictures on my walls are framed
20" x 16" or 15" x 12" prints from my slides. (My web site has most of them).
I have had to sacrifice maximum size now, because A3+ is only 19" x 13".
However, that is good enough. In a nice frame it can be very impressive. (And
there is a panorama feature on my printer that I think is 40" by 13" on a
roll! I haven't tried that yet).

(Another problem is how to give slide shows from digital? Yes, you can get
projectors - but the price of a good one is a bit steep! I thought about
hiring when relevant).
