Looking for a good developer close to me. Getting film isn't an issue and I want to play with the old Pentax that Mom gave me

remember to check when advancing the film that it is actually advancing... i didn't notice once that i failed to load the film properly and then paid to develop a roll of mostly nothing, but the real problem was that i missed getting some really cool pictures and there was no way to replicate the event/pictures so now i only have the experience in my mind and how i can best write it up.

Mom had taught me to always take 2 blank pictures with the lens on after loading film when I was younger. Makes sure don't have any partially exposed film from loading it. I only had a fairly cheap camera, though. Made me feel the difference between film hooked properly and improperly.

Need to find where hubby's camera he used to take on cruise went. He said it's a Canon so telephoto lenses I have are mostly interchangeable.

Had to order a new 55mm lens for my dslr while still cheap. It quit talking to the camera for auto focus which I use a lot with birds. The telephoto still communicates fine so know it isnt the camera electronics.

Having tons of strips of negatives from over decades, I now prefer digital. Instead of trying to analyze everything for the best shot, I can play with the settings and take a bunch of different shots. That treasured Kodak 110 cost me a bunch, particularly as it convinced me to upgrade to a 35mm.

My college buddy is more into photography than I am and he uses a photo editor. He has placed high in amateur contests over the years.

I need to get back out there this summer with my hiking photoshoots.

i can appreciate and tell a good picture that i like from one i don't - i'm decisive that ways. i'm also impatient enough that i still haven't figured out a good way to get good pictures of beans which show their actual colors and details.

when i take the time i can get better pictures. the problem is that my clutter and lack of space translates into awkwards postures that means i don't want to take the time to get the exact picture and i've not really spent enough time with the camera yet to get it all down. it's way more complicated than i really needed and so i just have to settle in for some time and really think about it all and yet, i still don't do it. :)

some day...

but i've gotten hints in the past few moments about something to try next time. so that's good... :) :) :)

i better write it down while i'm thinking about it.
