I'll give the negatives a closer inspection. <BR/><BR/>Raymond <I>did</I> buy me a very nice Nikon digital camera for Christmas, and I use it often, but I still like film for blog photos. I even ordered this nifty macro lens from Lawrence Photo...<BR/><BR/>If life was perfect and I had an extra closet/more disposable income, I'd start a dark room. I spent several summers as a kid in photography classes. We developed our own film, wound it on that big spool by feel, etc. Wellington's old High School building actually had a dark room, rotating door and all.

Do the negs have the shadow, too?Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03918566313210836849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1997981953920650643.post-57427848200902890132009-04-07T09:47:00.000-07:002009-04-07T09:47:00.000-07:00Sure it wasn't a problem with your aperture, a bad batch of film, ASA setting, etc.? Not to pooh-pooh your photography skills, which are generally delicious.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, there's this new technology called "digital photography" you should investigate. Buy a camera once and never have to pay for film or developing ever again. Truly awesome. Take that, Kodak!Michaelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03918566313210836849noreply@blogger.com
